when I use the <p> </p> (paragraph) tags, it automatically adds the blank line space at the bottom of the paragraph.
how do I change the size of this blank line? for example, if I want two line spaces, half a line space, or no line space?

like this

paragraph 1
(normal space)
paragraph 2
(two lines)
(two lines)
paragraph 3
paragraph 4
(no lines)

Using the br tag might work?

Code:
<br />

Is the way to go if you don't want any space at all. Other wise CSS is your best friend:

Code:
<p style="height:10px">Hello</p>

Obviously you can change the height to whatever value you please.

and by having different classes defined, you can have different heights for each class... so you can have a single space, double-space, triple-space, etc... so my vote would be for a CSS approach...

I'm using a css file defining p

p  {text-indent:2em; align:justify; line-height:1.5;}

the space I want, is not the space between the lines in the paragraph, but from one paragraph to the next, there shouldn't be such a big space.

For example, I want the paragraphs to have 1.5 line space, but I don't want the blank space between two paragraphs. I just want the indent.

<br/> didn't create the indent, but it did start on the next line which is close to what I want...

Try setting the bottom padding or margin with your css.
