You can use the CSS line-height property when the default space between lines of text box looks a little narrow. The next CSS code shows this.

File test.css
p {

font: 16px Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif;

line-height: 2.0;

}

Note: You can specify the line-height using standard CSS units of measurement, such as ems or pixels, but doing so breaks the link between the line height and the font size for child element.

The test file is the following:

File test.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN”

“https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>

Obama leads his Republican challenger 47 percent to 42 percent among likely Iowa voters, according to the Des Moines Register&#39;s Iowa Poll, which was released last night. </p>
