Blogger Spacing Problem

Spacing problems in blogger blogs

Blogger blogs have some serious spacing issues, especially with some specific html tags, for example, if you use a <table> tag on your post, you will see it leaves a huge blank spot before and after it. Same things might happen for your <pre> or <p> tags. This is probably because blogger treats every line breaking white space to be a <br/>. However, we can easily overcome this by adding a simple css script in the post (So, we will be using the "Edit Html" option, and in my opinion, the Rich Text Editor is shit. If you are not familiar of what we are talking about, don't be afraid, you'll see, your posts are going to be just fine).

Just add the following css in your post to create a class, and name it whatever you like, I'll call it 'nobr':

<style type="text/css">
.nobr br { display: none; }
</style>

Don't worry, it will not be visible in your actual post. Now, wrap around the elements for which you don't want to see extra line gaps before and after it using this class:

<div class="nobr">
<!-- your elements -->
</div>

Here is an example for using a <table> tag using and not using the above "nobr" class:
[Not using]

---

Name	Age
Pulok	17
Payel	20

---

[using]

---

Name	Age
Pulok	17
Payel	20

---

So, the spacing problem is significantly reduced. Hope you'll give it a try!
