Solve : Dreamweaver 8 paragraph spacing??

Answer»

At the top of my home page I've put my website title, followed by a subtitle that I'd like to APPEAR directly beneath it.  Each has been assigned a different style (title is large, bold and in caps, while the subtitle is smaller and in italics).  At present I've got them in the same cell separated by a PARAGRAPH (return).

I've been unable to figure out how to reduce the spacing between them.  Can I do it as they are or must they be in different cells?  Or something else I'm missing?  I have no problem with paragraph spacing on text that's the same style.  

Any advice greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance for your help!   --DennisIf you wish to insert a line break (one that just drops to the next line), I think the keyboard combination is shift+enter in Dreamweaver.  This corresponds to the HTML code,
.  (If *censored*+enter doesn't work, try ctrl+enter.)

Really, paragraph line spacing is best controlled by CSS, but if you're not comfortable coding in plain HTML, then CSS may be a little way off yet.Thank you.  I was aware of shift+enter, but wasn't sure if that would work.  I do have things set in external CSS VIA Dreamweaver--HTML code and I don't get along too well  :-/  but I can probably do one or two codes without too much trouble.Okay, well in CSS, you COULD style your paragraphs thus:

p
{
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
  line-height: 110%;
}

Adjust as required.

And you could use class definitions to style specific paragraphs:

p.compactpara
{
  padding: 0px;
  line-height: 80%;
}

In your HTML, you'd then need the class attribute for the paragraph in question - can't remember how this is ACCESSED in Dreamweaver, other than using the code browser.


<p class='compactpara'>This is a compact paragraph [etc].</p>
