There is no font size change (what you refer to is actually changing the HTML tag used). It currently does not, but enhancements are in the plugin and soon in core. The paragraph block does not have settings to allow several Word-type formatting features Welcome to web publishing! It’s best not to stress about how it looks exactly because with all the different devices and browsers that visitors use, they could all see it differently.ġ. If I have understood things correctly then I’m a bit disappointed in the Theme or perhaps it my be the Gutenberg system. Thank you both again for taking the time to help. However I fear I may end up living with whatever line spacing, colours and font sizes the combination of Gutenberg and Theme Twenty-Twenty forces on me. You can set very small multiples (down to a 0.06 line height), but all that will achieve is the hiding of all except the bottom of the text on the second and subsequent lines. Having such a feature would result in every line in a paragraph occupying the same vertical space. Steve – Thanks again for your link, I will study the Chrome Developer Tools (is that perhaps the equivalent of the link Joy gave for Mozilla?) and see if I can find the time and pluck up the courage to delve into CSS. There is no such thing as 'NO SPACING' in Word. Joy – I am using Chrome but will see if I can find the equivalent for it to the link you kindly gave.
I have made one customising “Additional CSS” insertion using specific code I was given in an answer to a separate question in the Twenty-Twenty forum, but even if used your links I’d be nervous about making a lot of CSS additions – and certainly would not want to dig around in the complete coding for the Theme (even if I could discover where to find that coding!). I interpret what you both say as meaning that the only way to do these things is using CSS, is that correct? As an absolute beginner I was hoping I would not have to learn such coding. The Classic block can change the font colour (of everything or even just a few words and that is particularly useful), it can change font size using the Paragraph drop-down menu but only for everything in a paragraph, and it cannot change the line spacing at all. The paragraph block does not have settings to allow several Word-type formatting features, specifically changing line spacing, font size, or font colour.Ģ. Thanks Joy and Steve for your replies and the useful links.
