Hi!

Is there a way to add some spacing above all paragraphs (including bullet items),just like i can do in a text editor as LibreOffice Writer ?  
I find difficult to tell apart paragraphs and items from bulletpoints when they run on multiple lines, and it becomes rapidly confusing. In a lot of note taking apps, there is some spacing for better accessibility

Thanks in advance!

Actually, in markdown you add a blank line to separate paragraphs most of the times. But if you actually need to work with styles, you can do it with [space style feature](https://v2.silverbullet.md/Space%20Style). But you will have to inspect the actual output SilverBullet generates with browser dev tools (F12 in Chrome).

For example, if you do not want to add a blank between a paragraph and the unordered list

```markdown
Paragraph
- 1st list item
- 2nd list item

```

you will need to add something like this to any page but to CONFIG for convenience:

````css
```space-style
:not(.sb-line-ul) + .sb-line-ul:has(+ .sb-line-ul) {
  margin-top: 20px;
}
```
