This is a really stupid question but i'm finding the format drop down menu in the cms a bit difficult to use - how do i write text without having a paragraph added when i hit return? i've tried "address" and this works but it changes it to italics everytime and i can't find it anywhere in the typography.css to change. The headings also revert back to paragraph when i hit return. Help, i'm pulling my hair out!!

thats very easy!!!

first, you have so set

p {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

in your layout.css.
the same thing you have to do in your typography.css, this is for your cms editor.

then, you can use the cms editor, press ENTER and normal new line like "<br />" will be shown.

this will be nicer a lil bit!

p {
margin:0;
margin-bottom:3px;
padding:0;
}

thankyou!
