 * Hello,
    I just have a general question. When I need more space between paragraphs
   and headlines, I know this can be accomplished by hitting enter which adds an.
   But is this bad practice? Should space be added with bottom margins?
 * Thanks for our help.

 * Hey,
    You can increase your line-height for your fonts from Theme Options > Typography.
   Hope that helps!

 * Hi Hannah,
 * thanks, but I meant the space distance between two paragraphs. They always have
   a bottom-margin, but if I want more, is it bad practise to just add an nbsp; (
   press enter)? This would result in multiple empty p-tags in the html…

 * Which editor are you using? If using the WordPress block editor you can use the
   spacer block to add more space between paragraphs. Would this work for you?

 * Sorry I forgot to mention! I really dislike Gutenberg so I have disabled it and
   use the regular visual or even text editor.

 * You can add this shortcode between your paragraphs: `[clear]` Does that work 
   as you’re wanting?

 * Yes, I know I can add this, as I also can add a   but I was wondering whether
   this really is good practice…should you use a bottom margin instead?

 * While extra p tags are not ideal it’s valid.
 * I don’t suggest doing it. I suggest you use a shortcode if you don’t want to 
   use Gutenberg or a pagebuilder.
 * If you want all paragraphs to have more space and not just some then changing
   the css for the bottom margin makes sense.
 * Does that helps?
