title: how to remove line breaks for a block element
body: <p>How can I remove the line-breaks before and after the <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> element? I tried to use span instead of <code>&lt;p&gt;</code>. But what I wanted was a box with a height larger than the text I supply inside it with a particular background color. With span, I think this is not possible. If it is possible, or if there are any other suggestions, please help me.</p>
