Is there a setting for changing text spacing? By this I mean, if I have a paragraph of text, is there a way I can increase the vertical space between the lines of the paragraph.

Yes! Go to your Appearance settings and edit your current theme.
Then go to Components in the left menu, then scroll down to Body Text Appearance and change the Line Height setting.
If that doesnāt work immediately in your live preview, you might need to do it in specific component types rather than just in components,
Thanks very much, I will give this a try!
It might also be Component Item settings, right down at the bottom there is āComponent Item Content Body Text Stylesā too.
Unfortunately Iāve found itās a bit of experimenting and also depends on where you have put text. In the article, block, component, component item etc etc. You will probably want to set them all the same but you can vary them. Itās very configurable but can be frustrating to find the right place to change something 
Hi there,
Unfortunately the line height setting changes the spacing between all the lines inside a paragraph.
Is there any way to add spacing between paragraphs?
Thanks,
Mark
I usually just do two line spaces if I want to increase that - or use multiples blocks with text for each paragraph? - not sure thereās a css way to do thatā¦
In CSS youād normally add a margin-bottom to the
tag.
Like in Word, when you add spacing to a paragraph.
Itās not good practice to add extra carriage returns, as the design should be separate to the content.

Not quite - that adds space around the whole text, not individual paragraphs.
Currently the only way to add that spacing is to enter two carriage returns after every paragraph. That way of formatting hasnāt been necessary since we moved from typewriters to computersā¦
Hi Mark -
Did you ever get this to work? Iām trying to add paragraph space too, without the need to add a carriage returnā¦ just wondered if you found a solution.
Thanks

Hi all,
I would also like to see āmargin-bottomā added to paragraphs.
Adding an additional line at the bottom of each paragraph means there is a P tag with nothing in it, and screen readers read this out as BLANK. While I havenāt had anyone complain about this, I could imagine itās rather off-putting to hear the word BLANK between every sentence.
Many thanks,
Barry

Yes. Paragraph spacing seems to be easy to do in CSS, but impossible in Evolve. Iād love to see some high-level control of paragraph formatting, so that we donāt have to add in extra line breaks.
The extra line breaks really do make it a bad experience for screen reader users, and anyone who overrides the webpage CSS for accessibility reasons (e.g. large text).
Not exactly easy to adapt to meet accessibility standards.

Thanks Joseph/Barry, I will raise with our devs and see what they say.

Back again.
I would love to have paragraph spacing added to Evolve as needing to add extra carriage returns does not look great. And for the reasons @Joseph_Dorrell points out above.
Hopefully, it is on your roadmap.

Agree with all the above comments - itās especially noticeable on bulleted lists. Thereās virtually no gap between them.

Hi ā Any thought to composing your content in Word or other application (with the required paragraph spacing) and then pasting without cleanup? Ideally, this would be an Evolve theme or editor feature at some point, but if you have only a handful of items to do, might be a workaround.
Hi all,
I would really like to see the margin-bottom parameter added to paragraph and list styles.
As the paragraph margins are set to 0 in the CSS, we have no choice but to add an extra line between all paragraphs, and itās not good practice.
The additional empty paragraph is also affected by the paragraphās line-height so is bigger than I want it to be.
It also means a screen reader user hears the word āBLANKā between every paragraph, and Iām considering removing all paragraph spacing from within the course and then amending the CSS post publish.
Thanks for reading.

Could the Paragraph Style Plugin be added to the Froala editor?
I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but it looks promising 
Back again asking for paragraph spacing. 
It pains me to add additional paragraph breaks to space out text when it really should be controlled by CSS.
Iām considering building courses without adding the additional paragraph breaks and then applying a post-publish CSS change to fix it. However, that would look messy in the editor.
