Remove White (Enter) Spaces from Post Text (CSS)
I'm trying to format my website post using CSS to look like a fiction book. At the moment I'm using a paragraph class (p.custom-indent7 { text-indent:60px;} ) to create first-line indents on each paragraph, but the problem is that there is still the white "enter space" caused by each enter, making the text hard to read.
Screenshot of the text formatting so far, with white spaces emphasized and slightly explained.
I'd love to find a way to remove this space using CSS, too. I'm using WordPress and don't know enough about CMS systems to edit the actual structure of the program, so something front-end would be preferable :)
Also, because I format books for EPUB anyway using HTML I don't mind manually applying the text formatting to each paragraph. It would be nice if there's an easier over-all method, but doing it once for the site is then also useful for the final .epub and .mobi versions of the books.

Welcome to SO. Since you're new, you might want to check how to create a minimal, complete, and verifiable example. The image you posted indicates that the paragraph-tag (still) has a margin, which causes the spaces at the top and bottom. But to be sure, we need some code to check.

Thanks Michael and Misorude! I didn't even know what I'm looking for, but your questions helped me find the research I needed. I changed my CSS class formatting to:
p.custom-indent7 {
text-indent:60px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
And it now formats the WordPress post like a fiction book, which is exactly what I wanted. Sorry that I didn't know more about coding, I really appreciate both your help :)
