when you want extra space between <p>

Since I have my P margins set to 0 to avoid the extra spacing of paragraphs, I am looking for the best approach to put that extra spacing between Paragraphs when it is desired. I am torn between the 2nd and 3rd option.

Any suggestions?

———————–

<p> My text </p>
[B]<p>&nbsp;</p>[/B]
<p> More text </p>

—————————

<p> My text </p>
[B]<br />[/B]
<p> More text </p>

————————-

<p> My text </p>
<p [B]style=”margin-top:20px”> [/B] More text </p>

@drhowarddrfineFeb 25.2006 — The third option is the one true way. Don't even think about the first one.

If you want to single out only certain <p>s, give them a class

<p class="bigger">somestuff</p>

.bigger {margin-top:20px}

Or, to single out one <p>, give it an id.

<p id="bigger">somestuff</p>

#bigger {margin-top:20px}

@KravvitzFeb 25.2006 — None of the above.
