[FM discuss] controlling line spacing

[adam hyde]

if you hit 'return' you get a <p> tag, which is a paragraph break, to
make it less than two spaces you must press delete at the beginning of
the second paragraph. It seems to me to be the standard way that wysiwyg
editors deal with things. I also found it a bit annoying but i am used
to it...i think we could find a way to deal with changing it back so
then we do away with <p></p> and deal with just <br>

i think we should go with a consensus on it...unless there is a good
reason i havent thought of to use the <p></p> then we can change it to
<br> (although I am not sure how just yet, but mr snow might have some
ideas) unless anyone prefers the <p>

...the </ br> instead of <br> is because the editor is xhtml compliant. 

it makes no difference to the rendering in browsers as far as i know

will reply to your key stroke issue shortly when i have read up on
it ...
