Styling the Post, make wide line breaks - how?

Hi mathilda ,

A modern thought on web design is that pages should be as short as possible so that you aren't endlessly scrolling. The platform has this thought built in to shrink posts by cutting unnecessary blank space (duplicate empty <p> tags) from the post.

If you really need multiple empty lines, you can use the <br /> tag in the HTML editor.

Dear starksk , thank you for that answer.

It is helping me half way.
But is there an other way to have a bigger gap between 2 <p> elements than going into the HTML Mode and enter a <br /> Tag? I am familiar with HTML coding (and heared a bit about the wonders of css). But i look for a more easy to access method.

Is there something else? 

There is not.

What are you looking for the larger gap to do?

If it is to separate topics, consider using the horizontal line available in the Insert Menu or separating the topics into separate posts. If you are trying to format information like a table, you may just wish to use the table tool. If it is something else, let me know and we may have a different solution for you.

Custom CSS on posts is not supported.

Good to know.

I just like to have a easy way to separate one cluster from an other.
Like i would do in an Email by hitting Enter twiche.
So the thought or prase is more separted from the next.

I normaly would do that by giving the <p> more of a margin.

In a regular writing program i simply would hit enter twise and keep the line height by 1 and not by 1.5 as the Forum will do.
I know that using Shift+Enter will keep using the Line-Height of 1.
But there is nothing in between a 'regular' Enter and a <br /> Tag.

Just for you, here is a picture of what my Post looks like before i hit Reply

Fair enough. You might look at the options in formatting to say give the blank paragraph a larger font size or header state. You could also separate the thoughts into separate posts/replies.

The platform sees the empty space as unnecessary for scrolling.

Thank you very much. I will look more closly into your advices.

For speed I will also make use of this method.

Just a dash to break the train of thought.
