br style

Hey Everyone: One thing I have struggled with is an easy way to put some extra spacing in somewhere is with “
“. But lots of times I cannot use it as it a single one seems to add three or four lines of spacing instead of just one…so i end up wrapping the item in a div and then adding margins or whatever to do it…

well it occurred to me that maybe I could control the “height” of the br by dong a “br style”; I know you can do that with <br style=”clear:both”/>

so i thought why cant i put some thing in there that will control the height of the br? i have tried “line height”, “font-size” and “height” and none of these had any effect on it…

does anyone know how to do this?

thanks,

G
