XHTML Tutorial - Getting Extra Space between Paragraphs
(Continued from previous topic...)
How To Get Extra Space between Paragraphs?
By default, browsers will give a predefined white space between
two paragraphs. But if you want some extra white space between
two paragraphs, you can enter an extra paragraph with a
entity.
Note that a true empty paragraph will not give any extra white
space. See the following tutorial XHTML document:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Extra Space between Paragraphs</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez vous? Dormez vous?
Sonnez les matines, Sonnez les matines,
Din, din, don! Din, din, don!</p>
</body>
</html>
If you save the above document as space.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see that the empty paragraph gives no
extra white space. But the paragraph with a entity does
give the extra white space you wanted as shown below:
