double-spacing in notes

trashygap
does anyone know how to disable the automatic double-spacing between paragraphs in the rich-text notes? All of the available format styles appear to be double-spaced.
Any help would be great! Thanks all--

    First, read this thread so you understand why it is the way it is.

    If you then still want to adjust it, you can modify the extensions.zotero.note.css hidden pref by going to about:config in the Firefox address bar. Setting that pref to
    p { margin: 0; }
    and restarting Firefox would do the trick.

    (Shift-Enter will also create a linebreak rather than a new paragraph, but that's generally not a good solution.)

    I didn't know that: it's very useful for me.... but why is it not a good solution?

    Read the linked thread.

    I had read it... But this thread was not really about <br> but <p>.
    What's the problem with shift+enter (i.e. <br>)? If I generate a report from a note and then have a look on the source code, I can see a rather non-orthodox "<br />". Is that the reason you think it's "generally not a good solution"?
  • dstillman
    The problem is that most of the advantages of <p> don't apply.

    Spacing is a display issue, and CSS is the way to customize that.

    Using line-breaks changes the actual structure.

    OK... Thanks for the clarification.
