The paragraph is set based on your font-size, and this is not controlled by Imagevue in any way. I am not quite sure what you mean by "twice the police height". A few comments:
# You control the paragraph height to a certain degree with both
leading and
font-size in CSS. However, this will naturally change the line-height within the text-block and the font-size itself also so may not be a good option.
# Try using double line-break <br/><br/> (shift+return) instead of paragraph (plain return) to separate your text-blocks. Double line-break will give smaller space than paragraph.
# If it is really important, you could fake a vertical space by creating a CSS class:
.myspace { font-size: 5px; }
Then put this in your html code:
Your first text here<br/>
<span class="myspace"><br/></span>
New text with space above
