question about <h1> tag in css

[flashmastermak]

I'm redifining the <h1> tag in a style sheet to reduce it's size, howevewr one property of the <h1> tag is to force a double line break much like the <p> tag

can I change this so that I can have the body text begin in the next line to the <h1> text

Another approach that doesn't involve undoing the block character of the tag is to deal with two things: the margin-bottom of the <H1> and the margin-top of whatever element follows it, often a <p>.

The margin collapsing rules state that whichever margin is the larger will be the rendered space between the elements. And it's margins, not just line breaks, that you're seeing in the default behavior of H tags.

To get the following copy to butt right up against the header, both margins should be zero, although I prefer just a few extra pixels in there.
