Change size of margin around a paragraph

Hi Mark,

You can do this by editing your theme’s CSS.

p{
margin: 18px, 0, 27px , 0;
}

(note that you need to add the current margins)

Hope this helps!

Thank you.

What do you mean when you said:
note that you need to add the current margins

Hi Mark,

I mean that your theme’s CSS already has a margin for paragraphs. If you want more margin above and below, you’ll need to add 18px and 27px margins.

If your code is like this now:

p{
margin: 20px,50px,20px,50px;
}

You need to add the desired margins, like this:

p{
margin:38px,50px,47px,50px;
}

Note that the marings are clockwise (38 = above, 50 = right, 47 is bottom, 50 is left)

Okay, got it thanks.

Mark

Hi @markest,
