How to increase text line spacing with css

[jcdesigns]

My text line spacing is too close and I need to add a little more space between the lines. My entire website is like this. Is there a way I can do this with css. See link.Thanks

Yes, the line-height property.

If it's for the entire website, then you could implement this into your CSS file:



body {
line-height:16px;
}


Change the 16px to whatever size fits the best. G'luck :)

You can use pixels on line height? My understanding of line height was that it was a fixed number (1.2) which was then multiplied by the font size of the element.

Yes you can. In fact, you can test it out here:

Check your CSS sheet, in this file your enter one more lign with "space-content" and you define the space in px
