Dreamweaver question

With a full return the spacing between line seems too large 'massive'. One of the things I am missing is being able to control the text with the same contol as somthing like freehand or illustrator.

Is there a way of getting the nice space after effect with text. The gaps are so big between one para and next could drive a bus through them.

any tips appreciated

Use the <p> (paragraph) tags. You can use CSS to control the spacing, margins and line-height if you don't like the default settings.

Thanks,
I see the <P> tag happens when I hit return.
Any tutorials I can look at? Controlling text? or somthing like this?

if i remember correctly if u hold shift when u hit return in dreamweaver it adds smaller spacing...... i cant remember which Tag it actually adds cos its a while since ive used dreamweaver in designer view now

Accurax is correct. Shift + enter gives you a single spaced break!

Wow thanks that worked in dreamweaver. That is already an improvement.
Will still look at the CSS

mmmm its a bit like a soft return. All the para attributes such as bullets go with it?

Well, we're sort of getting into hand coding here, but these two references will get you over the hump:

http://w3schools.com/xhtml/
http://w3schools.com/css/

These display the power of CSS. The latter has tutorials:

http://css.maxdesign.com.au/

If you ever need a break like its just like hitting enter the tag for that is <br>. And here i thought everyone knew that

Don't give this guy bad advice like this! Read up on semantics, hand coding, XHTML and CSS. You'll be much better off after a couple of weeks of learning.
