[IDEA/REQUEST] Writing class

[kmaustral]

I'm used to writing Google Docs with a setting for space between paragraphs. This helps visualise units of text. A global CSS for this is:

.cm-s-obsidian .CodeMirror-line,
.cm-s-obsidian .cm-line {
padding-bottom: 10px ;
padding-top: 10px ;
}

But this is not appropriate for most files in the vault, particularly those using outlines.

I like your cssclass: admonitions in the YAML which helps style particular bullets. It would be great to have one like cssclass: writing which would add space between paragraphs in both preview and edit mode. Even better it would be good to have some ability to customise this space.

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll leave this open in case anyone else wishes to support it. I don't know if I'll add it for the time being, but I'll consider it for a future update if it garners enough support. :)

I've converted this to a discussion. :)

When I posted about this on Discord, Dor responded with a feature request: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/enter-new-paragraph-as-default/29361/17

I hadn't realised that paragraph was a feature of markdown. I've since started using Typora for writing, which differentiates between paragraph and line. That's relatively easy to integrate with Obsidian and helps focus on writing as a separate activity.

A separate class for writing would still be welcome, but it's not so urgent.
