How Do You Increase Line Height in Webflow?

by

When it comes to designing websites in Webflow, one of the key aspects that can greatly enhance the readability and overall aesthetic appeal is line height. Line height refers to the vertical space between each line of text on a webpage.

By adjusting the line height, you can create a more balanced and visually appealing layout for your content. In this tutorial, we will explore various methods to increase line height in Webflow.

Using CSS

If you prefer to have more control over the line height, you can use CSS to adjust it directly. To do this, you can Target the desired element using its class or ID and apply the line-height property.

Step 1: Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to increase the line height.

Step 2: Identify the HTML element that contains the text you want to modify. For example, if you want to increase the line height of a paragraph (<p>) element, locate that specific element in your project structure.

Step 3: Once you have identified the element, add a class or an ID to it by selecting it and accessing the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow interface.

Increasing Line Height with a Class

If you want multiple elements on your page to have increased line heights, using a class is recommended. Here’s how:

Step 4: In the Styles panel, click on ‘Add Class’ or ‘Add Combo Class’ if you want to combine it with an existing class.

Step 5: Give your class a meaningful name that represents its purpose. For example, you could name it ‘increased-line-height’.

Step 6: With your newly created class selected, go to the Typography section in the Styles panel.

Step 7: Locate the ‘Line Height’ property and increase the value until you achieve your desired line height. You can either type in a specific value or use the up and down arrows to adjust it incrementally.

Increasing Line Height with an ID

If you only want to modify one specific element on your page, using an ID is a suitable option. Here’s how:

Step 4: In the Styles panel, click on ‘Add ID’.

Step 5: Provide a unique name for your ID. For instance, you could use ‘increased-line-height-paragraph’.

Step 6: With your newly created ID selected, navigate to the Typography section in the Styles panel.

Step 7: Locate the ‘Line Height’ property and adjust it accordingly to increase the line height of that particular element.

Increase Line Height with Webflow Designer

If you prefer a more visual approach to adjusting line height without writing any custom CSS code, Webflow Designer provides an intuitive interface for accomplishing this task. Here’s how:

Step 1: Open your Webflow project and navigate to the desired page.

Step 2: Select the HTML element that contains the text you want to modify by clicking on it in the Designer canvas or selecting it from the Navigator panel on the left-hand side.

Step 3: In the Styles panel, locate the ‘Line Height’ property under the Typography section.

Step 4: Increase or decrease the line height by dragging the slider or clicking on the up and down arrows next to the value.
