How to skip/insert half of a line height in html or asp.net aspx file?

Question

I use <br /> to do a line break in an aspx file.

This gives me more line height than I want. Meaning too much blank space between the lines. How do I insert or skip just half of a line height in aspx or html?

BTW, I am using an asp:Label control on the following line if this info can be useful.

Answer 1

Try something like:

CSS

.half-line {
  line-height: .5em;
}

and then add <p class="half-line">&nbsp;</p> instead of your <br> tag

Or instead of using <br> tags, you could just set the margin-bottom on your <p> tags smaller.

Answer 2

<SUP>&nbsp;</SUP>

Superscript adds a half-line above the line it is in.
