Bug: Paragraphs have too much line height
See original GitHub issueSummary
In the redesigned MDN docs, it’s difficult to distinguish paragraphs from other surrounding text (and from each other).
Where did you spot the bug?
A good content-heavy page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimedia_and_embedding/Responsive_images
What is the problem?
The paragraphs have too much line height compared to the spacing between them, making them visually blend into each other.
What did you expect to happen?
The paragraphs should use a line height that improves readability and makes it easier for readers to distinguish paragraphs from each other. From testing, the following values seem to work well:
- Line height:
1.8 - Paragraph spacing:
1.8rem 0
Example:
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Visit any page in the new docs.
- Observe that too much line height is being used for text.

@schalkneethling Yup, makes sense!
@AleksandrHovhannisyan for sure. I do experiment some by bumping it up and down. It is such a tricky thing to get to a place where everyone is happy. A lot of it is also a matter of personal taste. This is essentially why I wanted to open this up to more people. That way it is not just what I find readable.
