I AM PLAYING TAKE NO NOTICE OF THIS YET ....
RULE USED FOR SPACING: One space AFTER any size heading and two spaces BEFORE.
WARNING:
When editing a page do not edit by section!!!
If you edit by section you need to ensure that the correct lines spacing is left. Even if you are editing further up the section, the line spacing at the bottom just vanishes. Probably best to edit the whole page ...
Line spacing will vary in the top section according to how much text is used.
