Consistent Line Spacing

Sometimes when I see body text, I notice that the last line of a paragraph doesn't have the same amount of space above it as the other lines have. In fact, there's a bit too much space.

I believe I notice this mostly inside of tables, but I'm not sure.

Most people, when coding, do not close the paragraph tag: it's not required in HTML4.0.

Generally, you can eliminate the uneven line problem by closing the paragraph with the close paragraph tag, </P>. The text then snuggles up to the rest of the paragraph just as it should!

I'm trying to force it to happen, and it isn't working. Just keep this in mind: anytime the last line in a paragraph has too much space between it and the line above it, try </P>.
