I am having a line spacing problem that I can't seem to resolve. I am not
using a CSS, although CSS authoring is on. I am using a 10pt Verdana font
Here is my example:





My text in the body looks like this;

"Some test text

displayed the way I don't want it"





I want it to look like this;

"Some test text
displayed the way I do want it"



How do I get rid of the spacing inbetween the sentances?

thanks.
 
How do I get rid of the spacing inbetween the sentances?

Well, you have 2 issues. You can remove the spacing by simply deleting. This
also removes any line break, as the default line break when you press ENTER
is a new paragraph (HTML <p> tag). HTML will automatically (by default)
break in the browser window according to the window size. Your second issue
is how to enter a single-line break (HTML <br> tag. You enter this w2ith
CTRL-ENTER in FrontPage.However, you may not really want to do this,
because, as I mentioned, the browser will break your lines for you if
necessary.

It is important to know what the browser rules for formatting HTML are,
because different browsers have different rules, different window sizes, and
reside on different machines with different screen resolutions. For example,
one newbie mistake is to use the space character (HTML &nbsp;) to position
HTML in their page. Then they will ask why it isn't formatted the same on
everyone's computer.
