In all honesty, I am copying the style of someone else's ebook (and maybe they don't know what they are doing either!). The author I'm mimicking used <p> tags combined with classes for almost all text in the ebook - even headings and special formatted text.
I'm unclear of how margins and padding affects <p> tags.
What I'm aiming for... All paragraphs and headings are self-contained (normal spacing between lines within the paragraph), but all individual paragraphs and headings have a double space between them. (Much like the way I'm writing this response.) Is that a margin/padding issue, or is there something else I'm missing?
And could that be why my links within tables aren't working? The margins or padding is too small?
Finally, what are normal margin and padding values for the format I suggested above? Should I use literal number values in pixels, or should I use percentage values to accommodate various different ebook readers?
Thank you for your help!
