i want to know if there's a way to adjust the "leading" setting for the text i input on my page. leading, meaning...the amount of space between two (horizontal) lines of text as a result of a linebreak

i'd be willing to put the text i want altered in a div scrolling text area, if i have to.

thanks

It's a simple matter of adding the line-height property in your css.

CODE
p, b {font-size:14px; line-height:300%}


Usually, line-height values are in percentages (relative to font-size, so 300% in the above code would make a 42 font sized space), numbers (multiply the given font-size by number in value), or pixels/ems (given length).

thanks so much! but...since i've decided that I only want to adjust the line height for the text i input into my "interests" sections (general, music, books, etc) what tag should I use for that?

CODE
.interestsAndDetails td { line-height:3.0em; }

this will adjust only your interests sections.
