Why do I get so much space between lines when I hit the enter key?

Knowledge Base

Posted by Laurie Casolino

Looking to get single spacing between lines of text rather than double spacing?

When you hit the enter key, Dreamweaver inserts a paragraph, <p> tag. This gives you a "double" spacing between lines of text. If a single space is more what you were looking for, you need to hit the Shift+Enter key combination. When you do this Dreamweaver will enter a line-break, a <br> tag, which will give you single spacing between lines.
