    Here is my site (under construction)
    Notice the white space between the links in the left text widget.

    How can I get rid of the white space between the lines?

    I using the
    </br> for each line. I tried it without that and it was still the same.

    I do not have the “Automatically add paragraphs” checked; checking it actually increases the white space between the lines.

    The theme developer said its not a theme issue.
    The site is built using the Wiki plugin from WPMU, but that is not associated with the text widget.

    Here is the part of the html code that I used

    Anatomy</br>

    Biomechanics</br>

    Footwear</br>

    Foot Orthotics</br>

    Any insights would be much appreciated!

    The code I copied and pasted did not show up correctly above:

    <br><strong><a href="https://podiapaedia.org/wiki/anatomy/">Anatomy</a></strong></br>
<br><strong><a href="https://podiapaedia.org/wiki/biomechanics/">Biomechanics</a></strong></br>
<br><strong><a href="https://podiapaedia.org/wiki/footwear/">Footwear</a></strong></br>

    the site is https://podiapaedia.org

    Hi cbpayne,

    From what I see you just have an extra
    tag. This is the code I see:

    <strong><a href="https://podiapaedia.org/wiki/biomechanics/">Biomechanics</a></strong><br><br>

    Take out one of the break tags after each link and there should be no whitespace.

    I hope that helps.

    You should not need all that HTML in there. When I looked you have two <br> tags and a <strong> tag for each line.

    If you use the widget with paragraphs unchecked, does it then use the br tags or are you adding them? I’m sorry I don’t know the text widget that well.

    I think that if each line were in a <p> element you should be able to space and make the text bold with CSS in a child theme.
