When editing text within Dreamweaver, web site owners are often discover a very the large gap between lines after pressing the Enter on the Keyboard.
That keystroke is interpreted by Dreamweaver as the end of the previous paragraph and the opening of a new one. Depending on the web browser you are previewing the current page with a gap of 20 to 30 pixels appears between the two lines of text.

To get a simple line break instead use the combination Shift + Enter in your keyboard.That will create a simple line return which is translated in html by
. As a matter of fact most Rich text Editors I came across on the internet exhibit the same behavior as Dreamweaver. Not Wordpad of course, but HTML based rich text editors.

There you have it. Happy updates!!
