Line spacing in captions
-
I run an unmodified Twenty Ten theme. For a variety of reasons I prefer to use the built-in Gallery tool. My captions are sometimes lengthy. So far I have found no way to shrink the line size so they don’t take up as much real estate. For instance:

Hey Paul,
Try adding this code to your stylesheet:
.gallery .gallery-caption { color: #777; font-size: 12px; margin: 0 0 12px; line-height: 1em; }Specifically, we are targeting the .gallery-caption ‘s line-height and reducing it to 1em. You can play around with it in pixels too if you want finer control. I believe em’s are estimated in 16px quantities.
I got to this solution by right clicking on the caption (in Chrome) and going to Inspect Element. This brings up the Chrome inspector. Look at the box titled Styles and you’ll see the specific CSS code to edit.
Hope this helps!
