Hi

I am imorting a HTML text into a TextFlow using TextConverter.importToFlow

The format I am using is TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT

I am setting the formatso the space after a paragrph as follows:

paragraphSpaceAfter = 30

My question is why are line breaks tag <br> give me the same space between lines as a paragraph?

can I control the height of the line breaks ?

It's done that way because TextField.htmlText treats a <br> as a new paragraph.  The goal is compatibility with TextField's htmlText parser.  I don't see any easy way to control that line spacing.

That's not great news for you.  Sorry about that,

Richard

So there is no way to create a line break via html import ?

If I want to have a line break I need to create the importer that create the layout ?
