# H2 spacing problem

 * I appreciate any help I can get solving this little problem.
 * If I have a headline (using h2 markup) that runs onto more than a single line,
   the lines are spaced too closely and [step on each other](http://www.elizabethhanes.com).
 * I know I need to simply change an attribute of h2 in the stylesheet, but I don’t
   know which instance to change or exactly what I need to add (increase the margin?
   padding?).
 * Instructions gratefully welcomed!
 * Elizabeth

 * Try a line-height of 1 or 1.2…something like:
 *     ```
       h2 {
       font-size:1.8em;
       line-height:1;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you so much; that fixed it! I ended up changing the line-height to 1.3,
   and it looks much better.
 * I really appreciate your help, figaro.
