  Please help me before I lose my mind. I think the block editor has some good aspects and a lot of really bad ones.

  I am an author, I do a lot of text heavy posts. I can’t seem to find a way to make a heading and then enter to the next line but keep the next line immediately underneath the heading. I do NOT want the huge space there because the “enter” function is creating a new block. For example, I want a some text to look like the below:

  “Heading
  text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text”

  and not like this:

  “Heading

  text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text ”

  I literally have a headache from trying to figure this out WITHOUT needing additional CSS (because I want to be able to control all of my formatting and not make it like that across the board).

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  This is not because of the editor. All block-level HTML tags, including paragraphs, headings, blockquotes, and lists, are typically styled to have some empty space directly underneath them. And even if your theme does not specify it, the default styling built into your browser will then add that instead.

  The only way to remove that space is to add custom CSS code to override your theme’s styling in this regard. If you can give a link to a post or page where you have a heading like this added, I can give you the code you need to make this change.
