How Do I Change the Spacing Between Lines in Webflow?

When it comes to designing a website in Webflow, one important aspect to consider is the spacing between lines of text. Proper line spacing can greatly enhance the readability and overall aesthetic of your content. In this tutorial, we’ll explore different methods to change the spacing between lines in Webflow.

Method 1: Using CSS

If you have a basic understanding of CSS, you can use custom code to adjust the line spacing in Webflow. Here’s how:

  1. Open your project in Webflow and navigate to the page or element where you want to change the line spacing.

  2. Add a class to the element by selecting it and clicking on the “Add Class” button in the right-hand panel.

  3. Click on the newly added class name under “All Classes” in the right-hand panel.

  4. In the “Selector” field, enter a unique name for your class (e.g., .custom-line-spacing).

  5. In the “Style” tab, scroll down to find “Typography” and click on it.

  6. In the typography section, locate “Line Height” and adjust its value according to your preference. Higher values increase line spacing, while lower values decrease it.

To illustrate this further:

Example:

If you want to increase line spacing for a paragraph with a class name of “custom-line-spacing”, you can add the following custom CSS code:

.custom-line-spacing {
  line-height: 1.5; /* Adjust this value as needed */
}

This code sets the line height to 1.5, which increases the spacing between lines.

Method 2: Using Webflow’s Designer

If you prefer a visual approach without writing custom CSS code, Webflow’s Designer provides an intuitive interface for adjusting line spacing.

  • Select the desired element by clicking on it.

  • In the right-hand panel, click on “Typography”.

  • Locate “Line Height” and use the slider or input field to adjust the value accordingly.

  • To give you a clear idea:

    If you have a paragraph element selected and want to increase its line spacing, you can follow these steps:

    1. Select the paragraph element by clicking on it.
    2. In the right-hand panel, click on “Typography”.
    3. Adjust the “Line Height” using either the slider or input field until you achieve your desired line spacing.

    The combination of these methods should provide you with enough flexibility to control line spacing in Webflow. Whether you choose to write custom CSS code or use Webflow’s Designer, both approaches allow you to achieve visually engaging and properly spaced content for your website.
