Change spacing between lines

.oO(judas2)

After the perfect answer of James Shook I still doubt of what Nsv2
really needs. By the way I ask to you all a thing: what about using
different classes in the same paragraph? Is it not recommended?

Something like

<p class="foo bar">...</p>

or what? It's possible, personally I don't use it. I try to keep the
number of IDs and classes as small as possible. You can do a lot of
styling without classes, if you make use of all the different kinds of
selectors (especially descendant selectors, even IE recognizes them).

I just wonder if I couldn't use e.g.: .title instead of h1 and .text instead of p. Is it the same if I define classes instead of redefine tags?

You mean like:
<div class="title">Headline Goes Here</div>
<div class="text">Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet ...</div>

Sure. However, search engines tend to like semantic markup:
<h1>Headline Goes Here</h1>
<p>Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet ...</p>

SEs don't understand that <div class="title"> is the most important text
on the page; however, they do understand that if something is in a <hx>
tag, that it's important, and (As I Understand It) they rate pages that
way.

First, .title applies to all elements of the class "title". And I wonder
why you want to do it. If you have a heading use a heading element, if
you have a paragraph use the paragraph element. Of course you can apply
classes to them if necessary.

Thank you to all who replied to my question. Changing the CSS style margins
did the job. As a novice, I spent hours tyring to do read, learn, and do it on
my own. I should have asked from the professionals in the beginning. Thank
you again.

Joe Makowiec your answer has been very clear and convincing. Now I go out (on a certain bridge)
Thx a lot
Bye
