Let me see if I can find the documentation for that ...
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html>
shows only how to do it in CSS, not directly in the element, so
that's useless for me because not all browsers support CSS, in
particular the only browser available to me for testing over VT100
dialup (lynx) into unix shell doesn't support CSS.
<http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread154512.html>
also refers to CSS, but at least it shows doing something directly
in the individual element, so let me give it a try ... No, it
doesn't work. Here's the HTML source:

Anything I haven't yet included might be found
<a href="http://merd.sourceforge.net/pixel/language-study/syntax-across-languages.html">here</a>
in much terser form but still perhaps useful if you then use Google to find
the documentation for the keyword cited there.
<p style="margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0"></p>
<em>**(I don't want a blank line here, just a forced newline.)**</em>
Also, the original perl cookbook sourcecode and partial translations to
several other languages can be found
<a href="http://pleac.sourceforge.net/">here</a>,
...

And here's how it appears on-screen.

So what do I need to do there to get rid of that blank line?

Also is there any way to prevent the blank line after the pre element here?

... So suppose you
enter two numbers, with a space between them, such as</p>
<pre>
42 69
</pre>
**(I do *not* want a blank line here!!)**
on a single line of input?
Lisp will read the 42, and print it out on a new line.

That's disgusting. I've tried to purge my documents of all
accidental use of that crock, using &gt; whenever I want that
character to *appear* in the display of the WebPage.
