How to make text single space, but still wrap to reader screen

[crankypants]

Sigil 0.8.7

Sometimes I have some email or usenet headers in my document, and I want to make those headers single spaced. They currently have a blank line between them because each line is surrounded by <p> and </p> tags. How do I make them single spaced?

These headers should not be separated from the rest of the message by <code> tags.

Thank you!

EDIT: Got it. I used this CSS:

.singlespace {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}

And this xhtml in my EPUB:

<p class="singlespace">line one</p>
<p class="singlespace">Line two</p>

Just a suggestion: Use header tags for headers and paragraph tags for regular paragraphs.

<h2>Line One</h2>

<p>paragraph one through one-billion</p>

Then you can style the header however you wish:

h2 {margin:0; text-indent:0; text-align:center; font-weight:bold}
p {margin:0}

... keeping in mind that that will throw off ToC generation, and apply unwanted CSS to chapter headers...

What do you mean? The ToC generation works with the headers, so how will that be 'thrown off'? Isn't that what the header tags are for? For headers?

Because generally speaking you don't want to have chapter content showing up as a chapter header.

The OP is discussing email/usenet headers, I assume that is being applied in a similar way as letters quoted in a story.


That is exactly what you do not want to be getting confused with actual ToC items.

headers != headers

I missed that, too! Really shouldn't read this forum before my first cup of coffee....

I also missed that part. In that case it makes sense not to use the header tags.

I have the advantage it was early afternoon for me.


I've had those moments too though usually late at night.
