How to adjust the spacing between rows of text

Support
#1

Hi- sorry for posting this one which is likely very easy but I can’t find the setting. How do I increase the spacing between rows of text?

#2

More specifically, within pages created using Cornerstone?

#3

It’s fine on my posts, but not in pages built with Cornerstone.

#4

Sorry for so many replies, in addition to how to control this, is there a way to set it globally vs having to set it each time I create a page with cornerstone?

Hi @perfettc,

Are you referring to line-height? This is by default set on your stack CSS and then there’s also a default value on each element. See this sample: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqllf2vcwa

Either you adjust the value set on each element or adjust the one set on stack by adding the CSS on Theme Options > Global CSS

body {
    line-height: 1.8; /*This default value differs from each stack. Adjust accordingly*/
}

Hope this helps.

Hi- I’m referring to the spacing between lines.

Below is an example of my line spacing when building a page with cornerstone. It’s too tight IMO.

In blog posts, it looks like below. Much easier to read. Why is cornerstone not following the theme’s settings?

Hi @perfettc,

Yes, that is what also Lely’s meant, The Theme has a default of 1.8 line-height, but the element has a 1.4 default. So to resolve this, first add a text element to your page and set the line-height option to 1.8


If you do not see that options on your end, please enable the Advance Mode

Not only with the line-height but please configure your text element as how you want it to be the default. Now after you configure your text element, save it as a Preset


After you do that, you’ll see your own preset text element under the preset elements group


Use that preset every time you add text to your page and it will have your own styling/configuration by default.

Do that to other elements that you usually use too.

I was wondering if I could ask one more thing about text formatting in Cornerstone. How do I control the amount of space between paragraphs? ie. when using the enter key within the classic text editor? For example, the space between my paragraphs currently is about 3/4". I’d like to get it closer to a 1/2".

#11

And just to clarify, I don’t think this is a Cornerstone setting but a Theme setting because that spacing is consistent between pages built with Cornerstone and posts which don’t use Cornerstone.

#12

Also, I don’t want to use shift+enter because that spacing is smaller than I would like. Basically, is there a way to control what that double-space is?

#13

You can ignore this. I found the solution by searching your forum.
