Attempting to space out neatly text and images in web-pages can be annoying sometimes, trying the patience and wasting one’s time.

I had some short paragraphs that I wanted to highlight with images to make them easier to read and reinforce my message. The images are easily added at the front of the sentence, click “Add Media” button, drag and drop the image, don’t forget to specify “thumbnail” size. Click on the image and bring up the “Edit Image” dialog, I used left-alignment.

Problem was that my images and text appeared like this :

This is my first point

This is my second point
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I want :

This is my first point
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is my second point
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

So how to add the spacing in between.

Click on the “Text” tab in your WordPress editor and you’ll need to add :

<p>&nbsp;</p>

between the lines. In my above example I needed eight of these after “This is my first point” and another eight after “This is my second point”.

If that doesn’t work then try :

<em> </em>

That’s the code to make italics with a normal space in between.
