Hello, we are using Rise 360 to develop an eRead and having a difficult time adjusting the spacing on each page. I'd like to adjust the spacing withing paragraphs and between paragraphs. Please see attached. This program is over 100 pages long and it becomes a challenge to read this way.
Good morning Lori, I was wondering if you found a technical solution for your question above, concerning line spacing within paragraphs in Rise360...? I have exactly the same issue and could not find anything until now. I was told it might be controlled with some coding, but this doesn't help much in my case. Thank you in advance and all the best.
I have discovered the only way to control paragraph and line spacing (and I totally agree the spacing is WAY TOO MUCH) is to publish it to your own site, then edit the HTML code for line and paragraph spacing. (Not a good solution)
If you see yourself using RISE a lot, then maybe check out some YouTube on hacking HTML.
Another way I found to "sorta" get around the issue, is to build it in Storyline then use the Storyline block. Issue with that option is getting things to look consistent across the blocks.
The problem with the shift+enter approach is that it will be part of the same paragraph (programming-wise), and thus have the same formatting as the previous line.
To control spacing between paragraps with different formatting or orientation, you can use multiple text blocks.
Another option is to do as Angelo suggests, and hack it. The best way to do this is probably to open main.bundle.css in your exported product, and edit the .block-text class padding attribute to a size you want.
"Simply" open the file in a text-editor, search for ".block-text" and edit .block-text{padding:3rem 0;transition:padding .5s;font-size:1.7rem} to, eg .block-text{padding:1.5rem 0;transition:padding .5s;font-size:1.7rem}.
As a late starter to using Rise 360, I have found this to a big bug in the app. Cut and paste from my documents is resulting in mixed line spacing in the Rise. The app allows for so many other adjustments, Font, colour etc, why not paragraphing to some extent? It's the small things that annoy and influence some!
+1. This is a huge deal. Simple paragraph formatting is a necessity and should be included in basic formatting. This alone is enough for me not to use Rise.
This looks terrible. Line spacing needs some editing control directly from the platform because it's not always possible to upload a course on our own website to edit the CSS. And it's a problem that we've had for 2 years now but nothing has been done yet.
We definitely need the freedom to manipulate the spacing as needed. Being able to adjust the padding is not helpful enough. It is the ability to make more granular changes like para/line spacing that is much needed. No response from Articulate though?

Without knowing what block types were used to create your example it is difficult to make useful comments.
In general, Rise does not offer any control over line spacing, e.g. 1, 1.5, or 2.
You can have control of spacing between blocks by adjusting the padding above and below the block.
Within a text block, you can use ENTER to create a new paragraph or SHIFT+ENTER. The latter will create less space between paragraphs.
Helpful, thanks

+1 on this as a feature request.
+ 1 also from me, line space would be such an important feature
Seems like we have to find *ALOT* of workarounds for very simple functionality in Rise. The inability to adjust line spacing is another example.
Is this on the roadmap for implementation soon?
Adding my voice - line spacing greatly needed
Would also like to see this. I've been struggling for hours trying to get consistent spacing using the Timeline block.
Plus 1! The line spacing is way too much for some blocks!
+1 on the leading editing needed. A huge miss.
+100
+1!
+1
+1 on the line spacing as well. It's really frustrating not to have it.

I agree, line spacing would be a very useful feature so we don't have to tweak the CSS on/after every publish.
+1 here... this is a very much needed solution. Hope you'll consider it soon.
I would like to customize the line spacing, Also the color of the bullets points in a dark background
Crickets as usual.
