SOME HEADING
Paragraph full of text, some of it good.
(space)
ANOTHER HEADING UNLIKE THE FIRST
Another paragraph full of text, none of it good.
(space)
YET ANOTHER HEADING...
content that's hopefully better than that last stuff...
(space)

Well, you get the idea. Should I use < br/> or margins —*or are there space before and space after css conventions now that actually work?
It’s best to avoid margins between indented paragraphs, because the indent does the job of conveying that info. And it’s best to leave line-height unset, because the reader controls that. But there is nothing wrong with setting a margin-top on h2 (for example). They also have one by default.
