Allow paragraph breaks and customizing the spacing

[chriimoral]

Use case or problem

Allow users to define the custom paragraph spacing, and make it visible in Live Preview. Currently, I have to press Enter (or Return) twice to get a line between two paragraphs. I wish to be able to create paragraphs with only one keystroke of the Enter/Return key. I’ve tried using CSS for this, but no solution seems to affect Live Preview mode.

Proposed solution

Allow users to define their custom spacing between lines, much like font size and line width are adjustable under Appearance.

Current workaround (optional)

I’ve tried any suggested CSS snippets. Nothing works on the default theme in Live Preview mode.

Which one do you think is the closest to your request?

Custom Line Spacing as Native Feature

Use case or problem Currently, if you want to change the spacing between lines and paragraphs, you need to create a CSS snippet to do so. It can be difficult for new users or those not familiar with CSS, but it is a fairly basic visual feature that can make a big impact on text readability and comprehension. Proposed solution It would be great if line spacing adjustment was a native “Appearance” / “Editor” feature, similar to the tab size optionality now. Current workaround (optional) See here…

Custom paragraph spacing

Use case or problem In the new WYSIWYG-like editor, paragraphs are separated by a blank line, which means that there is more space between paragraphs than is typical for a typeset document. It would be nice if this editor worked more like e.g. Typora, where there is a (smaller) more natural vertical spacing between paragraphs. Proposed solution I suggest that when you press “enter” in the new editor, it should create a new paragraph instead of just a line break, and paragraphs should be separ…

What you’re referring to is the absence of Enter=New Paragraph (Add an Option for Enter=New Paragraph).
What you are describing as paragraphs are markdown lines. You can use CSS to change the space between lines, but they will still be lines and not paragraphs - which matters if you ever need to export.
