Remove space between paragraphs in the field "Comments"

AstroCalibre · 12-08-2019, 05:50 PM

Hi,
in the field "Comments" when I type <enter> to start a new paragraph, an empty space is inserted. How can I remove this space between paragraphs?
Thanks.

Look at the style sheet/HTML view.
<enter> is creating a new tag (not a bad thing),
the styling for that tag will be applied. It probably has a margin-top: of other than 0

Hi theducks,
no margin-top is set in the HTML.

<enter> normally adds a <p> tag, which will create white space.

<shift><enter> adds a <br/> tag, which breaks the line without adding space.

Then you need to find the (default 'comments' ) stylesheet for the <p> tag

It might be Preferences: look and feel: Book details (tab)

It sure does happen on my system .

You need to ADD a style for P

Code:

 p {margin 0 0}

the GENERIC default is what we see
