title: How do I adjust the line spacing in Pentaho Report Designer when I am using HTML
body: <p>I have some text in a database. Some of this text I need to have italicized, so I have put HTML code around this text in my database.</p>
  
  <p>In order for PRD to display this text as italics, I need to have the <code>rich-text-type</code> field in the attribute tab be <code>text/html</code>. But when this is done the standard font, line spacing, etc. changes and does not follow what is otherwise listed.</p>
  
  <p>In order to get the font I want, I need to put into the <code>value</code> field in the attribute tab some HTML code that calls for particular fonts etc. Here is what I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;span style=""font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; ""&gt;" &amp; [genus_notes] &amp; " &lt;span&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Normally I should be able to add html code to help deal with how large the space is between rows (e.g. line-height: 80%).
  For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code> ="&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;span style=""font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;line-height: 80%; ""&gt;" &amp; [genus_notes] &amp; " &lt;span&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But for some reason, PRD does not seem to understand this bit of code.</p>
  
  <p>The issue is that the default space between lines is too big for what I need and I am not able to adjust it as mentioned above.</p>
  
  <p>Am I doing something wrong?</p>
  
  <p>If this is just a limitation of PRD, does anyone have any workaround ideas of how I can get rich text into my PRD report and at the same time be able to have the space between lines of text to be what I need?</p>
