 * the distance between two paragraphs is too big. how can i change the height?
   
   everytime i hit “enter” to write on a new line, the distance between those two
   paragraphs is too big.

 * Two options:
 * Immediate: Instead of hitting enter, try shift+enter.
 * Long-term: Is there anything on your stylesheet talking about line-height? Get
   rid of that, or assign a custom line-height to the body or <p> tag.

 * i changed line height, but it only changes the height between the normal text
   lines, like when i dont hit enter to make a new paragraph.
 * shift+enter works…cant believe it. sometimes its so easy 🙂 i tried everything,
   couldnt make it work.
 * THANKS A LOT!!!

 * If there’s a <p> tag somewhere in the CSS, see if there’s padding or margins.
   Every time you hit enter, you’re opening a new paragraph, so it must have something
   to do with how paragraphs are styled.

 * Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be
   able to offer much in the way of assistance.
