CSS line spacing + XML

I am using a Spry accordion in DW CS3 to read an XML file.
The XML file contains breaks (not coded), but within the Accordion
content, all the paragraphs are run together.
See sample here:

CSS unordered list {line spacing question}

Hi everyone.
I am trying to make a bulleted list, and I have 5 elements.
Some require one line, while others require two lines. But the
thing is, I want the leading to be lets say 20pt between items. But
since some of the items require two lines, i want those items to
have their line spacing closer so they can seem that they are part
of the same bullet point. Is there any way I can do this? Is it
even possible?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
-Ce

Use <ol> or <dl> or <ul> list container and
wrap your bullets in individual <li> tags.
use css to style the line-height of the lis. Use a class on
each group of lis to set the line-height.
<ul>
<li class = "double_height">Item 1</li>
<li class = "single_height">Item 2</li>
<li class = "double_height">Item 3</li>
</ul>
ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
.double_height {
line-height: 2.5em;
.single-height {
line-height: 1.2em;
You can play with the settings to get the best results but
this code will give you an idea of what is possible.

LIne spacing +css

What a css setting for eliminating the extra line space that
occurs after a </p>
If this were in Word, this space would be equivalant to a
double space after an enter.
Thanks!

Robohelp 10 output line spacing for numbered lists is off

I wondered if you have had this situation occur with your output from Robohelp 10.
I created my help system and CSS using Robohelp 10. My CSS contains a numbered list style and an alpha list style, both having line spacing of 3pt before and 3pt after. Looks great in Robohelp WYSIWYG, but the generated output (in IE and Chrome) looks bad. The numbered list line has way too much line spacing after (the next style is a non-numbered list style) and the alpha list has way too little line spacing.
I tried playing around with changing the line spacing but it does not change the output!
Thought I'd reach out to see if you have experienced this issue and the most expedient way to resolve.
Here is an example of HTML tags in Robohelp:
numbered list
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-1ListNumber" start="1" style="list-style: rh-list;
list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="1ListNumber">instruction text.</p><?rh-list_end ?>
alpha list
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Alpha" style="list-style: rh-list;
list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="Alpha">Instruction text.</p><?rh-list_end ?>
thanks much

If you create a single topic project showing this problem and send it to me as directed on the Contact page of my site, I will take a look.

Word doc import/export and line spacing differences with Pages '09

When I save or open a Word .doc, the default line spacing differences messes up the document formatting, the document ends up being more pages in Pages than when I open in Word:Mac.
One work around I learned about on this forum is to set the line spacing to "exact" in Pages. This is okay, except many Word documents have subtle line spacing before or after paragraphs and/or different size fonts in the document that affects line spacing. Setting Pages line spacing to exact makes a mess of these documents.
Why can't Apple build a proper line spacing function into Pages so it is more compatible with Word? If they are touting compatibility, they need to make a disclaimer in their advertising as only simple documents seem to work without issues.
Is there a better work around available?
Thanks.
Bud

Bud,
It seems that there is incompatibility in the before and after spacing (Ctrl + 0 in Word for Windows adds 12 points, if I remember correctly).
Since you mention a .doc file, it makes me think you have a Word 2003 or earlier format. I have a couple of suggestions:
1. If you have access to Word 2007 or Word 2008 for Mac, try saving in .docx. Basically, a .docx is compliant with Office Open XML, the ECMA standard that is the basis for the document formats in Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac.
[Note: The Office Open XML ECMA standard, or OOXML is a source of polemic since it was donated by Microsoft and competes with Open Document Format, or ODF. You can find more here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OfficeOpen_XML#Implementations_of_new_2008version
and Microsoft has stated they'll support the newer standard and retrofit Office 2007. Let's hope they do the same for Office 2008 for Mac and that Apple picks up as well with an upgrade for Pages '09 or in Pages '10]
2. If the above does not work, I would suggest reporting this to Apple. This would indicate a compatibility problem in Office Open XML compliance, which should be independent of Word itself. A way to support this claim would be to test it in another word processor that adds space before and after a paragraph and that supports OOXML, which I think would be too much I would not bother reporting it for a Word 2003 format because it is proprietary.
Hope it helps.

Modifyling Line Spacing

I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004. I have a Navigation list in
the left vertical layout table using a style I created called
Navlist. It works correctly with hovers etc. The only thing I don't
like is that the spacing between the lines of text is too close. I
have used a <br> return. If I use a <p> return it is
way too much. Is there a way I can use edit the style with the css
panel to increase (or decrease) the spacing slightly?
Thanks
Mike

How to adjust line spacing

Can you adjust the line spacing in Dreamweaver or does it have to be done by code? And how so?

Line-spacing on what? Headings, Lists, Paragraphs...? With CSS rules, you can define line spacing for all selectors in the body rules. Or you can specify different line-heights on individual selectors.
CSS global rule (applied to all selectors):
body {line-height: 100%}
CSS more specific rule (applied only to named selectors):
#header p {
line-height: 2;
#footer p {
line-height: 1.5;

No line spacing, so why...

Hi,
There is no line spacing applied. However, the first line is
in brown and the second line is in gold. There is a massive line
space between the two lines, whereas I'd like them to be the
equivalent of a soft return.
"welcometo" is brown text, and h1 is defined as gold text.
The p tag is defined in brown also. I've got a huge gap between
each line.
<td width="546" height="261" valign="top"><h1
class="welcometo">Welcome to</h1>
<h1>OUR COMPANY</h1><br>
<p>My main text paragraphs here.</p>
</td>

You are seeing the margins between the <h1> and the
<p>, and it's made worse
by the unnecessary <br>. Use CSS to control these
margins. It's not a line
spacing issue at all.

"Line Spacing" vs. leading

How does "Line Spacing" in static or dynamic text fields
(explicitliy set in the "Formatting Options" window) compare w/
"leading" when creating a text field w/ AS?
Is a "Line Spacing" setting of 10 the same as my_fmt.leading
= 10;?
In a Flash 7 file I'm trying to get the spacing between lines
in an AS-created text field to be closer than default, but it seems
that leading can be a positive value. But if a similar static field
looks good w/ Line Spacing set at 0, why is there no equivalent w/
leading?

To clarify... If the query row is omitted from the
indexed/array notation, then isValid() and <cfparam />
produce different results.
In the attached code example below, the query row was omitted
intentionally to illustrate.
Two possible solutions are:
1) Make isValid() throw an error (so that they both throw an
error)
2) Make <cfparam /> not throw an error (so that they
both do not throw an error)
I feel the behavior should be consistent. Does anyone feel
otherwise? If the behavior should be consistent, then which
solution, or other solution, is preferred?
Let's discuss!
Thanks,

Permanently save line spacing in a multi-line text field

Me: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Windows Vista
(I think the people who will be using the form have Reader 7 on Windows)
I work in a doctors' clinic, and we use phone message sheets to document conversations between the patients/us/nurses/doctors, and I scanned the form and made it into a fillable PDF for our secretaries to fill out more quickly. The "message" area has pre-printed lines on it, and the multi-line text field I placed there needs to match up to the lines. I used the Rich Text Formatting options to set it to "Exactly 24 Points," but I can't get it to KEEP the formatting permanently. The only way I could get it to save the formatting in that field was to put a space in it and then save it, and then give that to the 2 phone secretaries. It works perfectly the first time, but instead of just closing/re-opening the file to start a new message, one of the secretaries highlights everything in the "message" field and deletes it... which deletes the line spacing formatting. I've told her
b numerous
times to leave that starting space in the field, but she "forgets" so all of her messages look messed up. So is there a way to force that line spacing
b PERMANENTLY
???? Here's a shrunken screenshot of the field -- I wish I could just erase the lines altogether so the spacing wouldn't matter, but the secretaries type/print the message out, then the nurses/docs write on the page with pen so the lines have to stay. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=notepreviewph8.jpg
Thanks!

You can set the font size of the text. Then play with the underlines in the original document to match the needs of the font that is used. Print to a new PDF and then use replace pages to put the new page into the form without changing the form fields. I was able to do this with a word processing document by adding underlining in the document with 12 pt and setting the font to 12 pt in the text field. You can play with the font, the border of the field, and the underlining in the original document to get the desired result. Is this optimal, probably not. However it does the job.

I have "upgraded" from Pages 2.0.2 to Pages 5.5.3 and can no longer customize my line spacing. Does anyone know if there are more than 4 options for line spacing?

Is it possible to customize line spacing in Pages 5.5.3? My previous Pages 2.0.2 allowed me to choose spacing in 0.1 increments, but as far as I can tell Pages 5.5.3 only offers four options. Very limiting for creative documents.

Hi Margaret,
Does this work for you?
And 0.6
Or 1.6
Please call back if this does not help.

Ian.

How can I change or reduce the line spacing to single in a "multiple lines of text" column in a list?

We keep many logs in a simple list format. One of the columns requires a description using the "multiple lines of text" default column. Sometimes the person making the entry needs to complete about 20-30 lines of text. Users are requesting we reduce
the amount of space advanced between lines to save space and be more concise. Is there a way to reduce the line spacing for the column entries to single spacing without code?
Maree N Percival

We determined that the site column settings were incorrect for allowing single spacing, we changed the site column setting from "Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" to "Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)"
and it is now keeping the text in single spaced lines.
<label for="onetidRichText">Specify the type of text to allow:</label>
<input id="onetidRichTextPlain" name="RichText" title="Plain text" type="radio" value="PLAIN" />
<label for="onetidRichTextPlain">Plain text </label>
<input id="onetidRichTextCompatible" name="RichText" title="Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="COMPATIBLE" />
<label for="onetidRichTextCompatible">Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)</label>
<input id="onetidRichTextFullHtml" name="RichText" title="Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="FullHtml" />
<label for="onetidRichTextFullHtml">Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)</label>

Line Spacing in text field.

Hi,
I have added many text fields to my pdf document. Some of them need following:
1.
Adjust the line spacing between two lines.
2.
Make the text "justified".
I can not find any way to accomplish these things. Can anyone tell me how to do these things?
Thanks,
Vijay

Geo,
Are you talking about check box "Allow Rich Text Formatting" in the Text Field Properties dialog box? I have it checked.
But still it does not give me ability to adjust line spacing or "justify"ing the text.
Thanks,
Vijay

In Notes, I do not have a format bar. Under views there is no option to toggle this feature on or off. How then, can I set line spacing in documents? or is there some trick to getting the format bar that they say exists?

I want to be able to adjust line spacing in the Notes program. The help menu says that there is format bar and that I can choose this spacing. I do not have a format bar. They said that you can toggle this on and off under the View menu. I have not option in my dropdown that gives me an option to show or hide the format bar. Is there a reason why my version does not seem to have this feature?

Sorry for the wishy washy response but potential YES and possibly NO. Your user data should be intact but the OS may not be able to boot. You have a backup?

Pages 5: Spacing between bullets (not line spacing)

How can I control the spacing between bullets?
1. I clearly see how to control the spacing around a bullet relevant to its text. That's not what I'm referring to.
2. I clearly see how to set line spacing. That's not what I'm referring to.
What I'd like to do is keep a line spacing of 1.0 on the text, but add padding between list items (between bulleted content). The method in Pages '09 was to add buffer space "after the paragraph" (or before). However, in Pages 5.0 this option does not exist. Some of my bullets have enough content that wraps, which is why line spacing is not an acceptable solution.
How can I control spacing between bulleted list items, such that each chunk of content is better separated?
Thank you!

Silly me. I have located it, by expanding the Spacing menu. The control I'm looking for is right there.
I've included a screencap, in case anyone else misses the obvious like I have. Thanks for looking!
