How do we define the height of the <P> tag in CSS?

[paul dallaire]

HI! I would like to know how to change the line height of the <P> tag. as my
text is small so the p tag is to large for the text and I would like to
define the height of the tag in my CSS.

I look at the line height but this referrers to lines of text that are not
separated by the P tag. right now my tag is about 14 pixels height and I
would like to bring it down to about 8 or 10 pixels.

If there is another way I am open to suggestions

I am using an external CSS.

Paul

exactly what do you mean?

<p> indicates "new paragraph" you can't define the height of a paragraph.

Do you mean line spacing?

 

[Murray]

p { line-height: 10px; }

Be aware that this text is VERY small and will be hard to read.
