Earlier, there was a discussion of why not to use <br>s too much. I
mostly don't like using <br>s at all but there is one situation where
its seems better than the alternative.
<h4> this is the paragraph header</h4>
<p> this is the paragraph</p>
If I want no margin between the header and the paragraph, I can use:
<h4 class='no_botto m_margin'> this is the paragraph header</h4>
<p class='no_top_m argin'> this is the paragraph</p>
But this is sometimes more obnoxious than
<p>
<span class='paragrap hheader'>this is the paragraph header</span>
<br>
this is the paragraph</p>
How would you do this ? 13 1809

This removes useful markup from your content. The header becomes just a
modified form of body text and less for non-visual browsers to process.
And changing header styles does not affect that text style increasing your
maintenance burden.
Do you use the gapless presentation randomly? Or does it tend to clump
together?
Hey! You could use a division and cascade the h4 and p elements so no
explicit class attribute is required.

If that header and paragraph is an exeption, different from other
paragraps and <h4> headers on the site, then I use just <h4
style="blablabl a"> and <p style="blabla">
But I always try to give all header tags their own style, in the
stylesheet file, e.g. h1 {margin-bottom:12px;} and so on. Less margin
for smaller (sub)headers and use them the same way all over the site.
For the paragraph tag, I mostly set top-margin to "0px" and only use a
bottom-margin to make a space before the next paragraph. That way I
can have a header and a following paragraph with the margins I like.

Just that adding all those classes to the tags is a chore. I'll do it
rather than using <br>'s (it seems like I'm giving up control of my text
when anything is not in a block element). I just thought there might be
a shortcut I hadn't thought of. <p> <span class='paragrap hheader'>this is the paragraph header</span> <br> this is the paragraph</p> This removes useful markup from your content.

I guess that could work if all the paragraphs were that way, but there
are always more paragraphs below the one next to the header. All the
header are the same so it would at least cut down on the need to cite
header classes.

Class selectors aren't required. I think someone else already suggested
this:
h4 {margin-bottom: 0;}
p {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 1em;}
I do this all the time, on ol/ul as well as paragraphs. Works very nicely.

Sometimes you want space, sometimes you don't. I was curious how the
space/no-space decision occurs: for a whole page? a small section of a
page? Alternate sections? Randomly picked by source code? (Okay, the last
one is unlikely. :-))

I want a space between everything but a header and a paragraph.
The stuff kchayka and Arne suggested is fine.
h4 {margin-bottom: 0;}
p {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 1em;}

$a = $_POST; # txt_content = This is a<CR><LF>Test

That is the above code that I am using, however, it is not picking up
the CR/LF from the textarea. I have also attempted singular variations
of the CR/LF combination and even reversed the sequence without success.
Is it possible that it may be encoded differently and if so what is it?
