try using p> </p or simply p></p / use < and > in front of p and after.
Thx for the quick reply! I added p> </p and it did give me the space I wanted, but now in that space you can see p> on the blog itself. You can see it here: http://www.parenttalktoday.com.
<br /> moves text down a single line.
<p>Some text</p> is for paragraphs.
is for spaces.
So you’re really wanting to use a combination of the last two:
<p> </p>
It worked! I’m putting that into my cheat sheet right now. THANKS to both of you.
They say code is poetry. That’s not quite the word I’d use! 😉
Better to use CSS to change a property like margin, padding or line-height for the list item in the sidebar… The “heading” of a list of pages, for example, is the h2 element (assuming the default here, you can control this with the title_li param for wp_list_pages(); )INSIDE an <li> tag in an unordered list
<ul> which you CAN apply an id or class to, so a style rule like:
li h2 {
padding-bottom:1em;
}
would affect the space below the heading. If you want to add space BELOW a list of pages or categories, adjust the rule that applies to the list itself (</ul>) as in:
ul {
padding-bottom:30px;
}
It helps to understand CSS and honestly, the above is TOO generic. I’d add a class to the tag (eg. ul class=”pagelist”) and define the style’s bottom padding there.
Between the list item, define bottom padding or line-height for li.cat_item or li.page_item… it depends on what type of list.
What I wouldn’t do is use line breaks <br /> (which is what you would use for xhtml, not <br /> and not </br>. Nor would I use paragraph tags when not using paragraphical content. Remember, html elements should be semantically correct.
If you can point to a site with the examples in mind, a person could be more specific about how to get what you want.
