How to add empty pagargraphs
Hi I would like to add an empty paragraph between h3 and the p below.
h3. Background
p. TBR is a Global Ground Transportation Company with an obsession for quality control and service. Established in Glasgow in 1999, TBR has developed and expanded into a truly global organisation.
I tried using something like p.  , but It is diplaying the p. as text into my page. I also tried just p., got same results.
If you want to add spacing you should do that using CSS.
I can not use just an empty paragraph? so as to have: h3 title p empty p with text
That wouldn't be a usual thing to do. You should use a paragraph element to markup a paragraph. If you want visual space use CSS. Markdown and Textile will do the correct thing and remove empty paragraphs.
Sorry I am new in Perch, when you say use css, how do you mean it? I tried the code below but also didnt work tight.
h3. title <div style="height:20px;"></div> p. main text
Hi Lukasz,
I guess you may be in a hurry to get your project up and running but if you get a chance you should check out https://www.codecademy.com/ you will probably find the answer to your question within a few minutes and it will explain in more detail many aspects of CSS.
We aren't able to teach CSS here. Dan's link would be helpful to you or any other basic CSS resource.
I know css I didnt know what html elements I am allowed to use inside perch editor I achived what I was looking by adding top margin to p thanks
I need to make the editor modified so as to force users to use as less code as possible since the website will be updated by non developers.
For example I have something like this
Is it possible to add css to an element which is created by the editor? For example I have the paragraph below which was selected and added the p element by the tools of the editor
Is there any way to add css style directly to elements (placeholders) that are created by the editor? Or the user must do it with css like before by adding also the html element
<p>(<p style="padding-top:20px;">or<p class="sth">)Style it based on the container. e.g.
Again this wont help because I might have p inside the article that the user doesnt want the space, and also a p that he wants space. I guess the only way is by setting up class for specific porposes and aply it when wanted.
If there's no logic to when the spacing is needed and when it's not, a class would be the best way to go. That's sometimes a warning sign of a bigger problem - what are the rules for when the class is applied and when it's not? (rhetorical.)
So the user would just do this:
Thanks Drew.
