By trial and error I added a couple things to set text size, spacing between lines in a paragraph, and get a little breathing space between paragraphs. Maybe somebody can show better ways to get these done.
The settings were added to the p {...} block, which I assume means they apply to all paragraphs. The values are:
p {
font-size: 18pt;
line-height: 105%;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 6px;
orphans: 1;
widows: 1;
}
The settings for orphans and widows were already in the p block. Looks like a semicolon is used to separate entries within the {...} block.
Notes:
(1) The font-size setting can take different units. The one I used, pt, seems to mean typographic "points". I also saw another, px, which seems to mean pixels. Both unit types give absolute sizes, there seem to be other units that are for giving relative sizes but this is beyond me at the moment.
(2) The line-height setting seems to make line-to-line spacing xxx percent of the font height.
(3) The padding-top and padding-bottom seems to leave a little space before and after the paragraph. Again, different units are possible, including relative ones, but I chose pixels because it seemed the simplest.
