When you hit 'enter' you are producing a paragraph <p>This is some text</p>

If you hit 'enter + shift' you are producing a <br> which will eliminate
the space between lines.

However the correct way to do this, unless you actually require a break,
is to control the margin/padding on the <p> tag

<style type="text/css">
p {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; /* top/right/bottom/left, alter to suit */
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
</style>

Copying and pasting the above piece of css into your pages code directly
before the </head> tag will allow you to use paragraphs and control the
spccing between them.

No, that's not what Osgood said, and it's wrong. Reread the post.
