How to format line spacing in a post?
-
I’m trying to make the text smaller in some blockquotes at the end of this post:
http://1tess.wordpress.com/2009/02/09/gyutan-stew-with-veal-tongue/
The type is small enough but the line spacing is not adjusting automatically. (Actually, I have a post on 5 Feb. where I made a title larger and the lines are too close together, but it doesn’t look so funny because it’s only 2 lines.) How can I make the lines closer together (or farther apart) than is standard for my theme?<blockquote><span style="font-size:.8em;font-family:Arial;">text line one text line one text line one text line one text line one text line one text line two text line two text line two text line two text line two text line two text line two text line two text line two text line three text line three text line three text line three text line three text line three text line three text line three text line three </span></blockquote>The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can try adding line-height: 1em; to the mix inside the span tag. You will have to play with the number, I just put “1” in sort of as a placeholder.

You’re most welcome.
I’ve taken to doing a lot of my non-standard formatting using CSS stuff rather than trying to mess with HTML, which has severe limitations compared with what is available in CSS.

Just a six months ago I was too scared to even look at the HTML for fear of messing something up. CSS is a roof (ie: over my head).
Maybe I should learn a little of CSS because there are some things I’d like to change on my Digg 3 theme (that grey background, the ugly green navigation tabs, the color of post and widget titles…)

I’m still a CSS novice, but I keep working at it. Mostly I just keep pounding on something until I figure out what works.
