Noob question: is there a way to remove double spacing?

nimeton

Hey just wondering if there's a simple way to remove double spacing? Whenever I hit return it creates a new paragraph. It also does it in list indents (despite appearing as single spaced text in the editing page), which is super annoying.

I'm guessing you are using the CkEditor rather than the Textile editor.  The CkEditor adds in a <p> tag anytime you hit enter and adds as part of that style a margin-bottom of 1.6em. So you want to set that to 0em in your custom css

p {

margin-bottom: 0em;

}

If you want to reduce it even more add in line-height: 1; Currently line-height is at 1.6 so really anything between 1 and 1.6 will reduce it.

For lists you need to use line-height to reduce it.

ul, ol {

line-height: 1;

}

With CKEditor the enter key does indeed wrap with paragraph tags, but shift+enter does a normal br/enter. I tried to get those swapped before implementation of the editor, but the request either fell on deaf ears or wasn't caught.

Interesting Kallak.  It does appear the shift+enter is the default setting for that.

Here is a CkEditor keyboard shortcut document.  It might be useful to others using the CkEditor.
