Add padding to paragraphs

[willieram]

Hi community.. I’m new to Obsidian and loving it. One thing I like to my visual style, is to have a padding at the paragraph level on my notes, so I don’t need to add an extra line to separate a full stop from a normal one. This also applies to bullet items on lists. I found out a styling css where I could add such padding -say 0.5em- and have to use the !important keyword that I don’t like much. Anyway, my question is if this styling is advisable or not, as it might collide with the rest of the ui. And if anyone know, what could be the best css classes to update to do it nicely if so.

Thank you so much for your support and help!!

I did this for a little while with CSSfor exactly the same reasons as you, but ended up dropping it. Reason being, the markdown spec expects a line between paragraphs to format correctly in various situations, exporting, block referencing, a few situations with lists. I found it more trouble than it was worth as I needed to add the blanks anyway at times, and that just looked worse. Personally I ended up using the Linter plugin Linter - Obsidian Plugin to handle it automatically (along with many other formatting things, both in the note body and in the front matter).

Hope that helps
