Q1763 How can I reduce the spacing between paragraphs?

Set line-height to less than 1. But be careful - while paragraphs are drawn closer together, the lines within a paragraph are pushed very close together. With anything less than .9, letters on two lines within a para will touch. It is therefore only useful if you know your paragraphs will be less than one line long. For example if each para is a brief data output field and you want to maximise the number of fields you can display on the screen at any one time.

<style>
P {line-height: .5 }
</style>
