Well if they are separate paragraphs then as stated you should do as
above use <p>...</p><p>...</p>. If you do not want to compress all your
paragraphs then create a class
..compressed { margin: 0 1em; }
<p>Regular paragraph...</p>
<p class="compressed">Compressed spacing paragraph...</p>
<p class="compressed">Compressed spacing paragraph...</p>
....
If you just need to for a new line for a specific sentence the by all
means use a BR
<p>Regular paragraph...<br>but now on a new line</p>
If you need to separate a part of a paragraph with a special treatment
sort of like an inset then enclose in DIV seems to make sense to me.
..example { margin: 0 5em; color: red; }
<p>
Some technical treatise .... for example:
<div class="example">Your example...</div>
continuing rambling discourse ...
</p>

Take care,
