Continuing to share tips with formatting, This is how I am using adding or taking away spacing with paragraphs. Sometimes I want two separate lines to appear together as with citing references below a paragraph. Sometimes I want a paragraph to stand out with a little added spacing above or below. I was unable to shrink the space above as that must be already determined so - I commented it out. If anyone has a work-around for this, please do share. Otherwise, I hope this is useful to someone.
Just to be clear, I am now working on very long, mind numbing, technical documents and I am using TaskPaper to do it. Eventually I will move to a word processor for proper formatting. But TaskPaper makes the assembly of the information in the research phase and the draft phase much more easy to accomplish than I could accomplish by using a word processor alone. Hence, my use of formatting tags in TaskPaper.
