TextField and CSS: How to control spacing between paragraphs

I'm using an external CSS to format a textField that has some HTML text in it, let's say something similar to this:

myTextField.htmlText = "paragraph oneparagraph two";

How can I control the spacing between paragraphs when there is no support for margin-top or margin-bottom? I don't want to add empty or elements to my text since they don't allow exact control and insert too much space. Is there any good solution?

Thanks

I hope someone will have a different answer but I am afraid that it is not possible with HTML text to control line spacing.

Perhaps, one of the ways can be still using extra tag and manipulate it's height with smaller font size so that it doesn't take as much space as it will by default. Say, you can have a declaration in CSS:

.spacer {
font-size = 4px;
}

and in the text field:



Again, I would love to see a better solution.
