Setting the element to 1.5 line height. In the style sheet set the characteristics of the element.

Example Code:
<p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit … </p>Setting a class to 1.5 line height (space-and-a-half line spacing). In the stylesheet, define the class.
Example Code:
p.tall {line-height:150%}In the content, call up the class = "left".

<p class="tall"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit … </p>Setting a class to double-spaced line height. In the stylesheet, define the class.
Example Code:
p.tall {line-height:200%}In the content, call up the class = "right".
