Text spacing in side bars

[Canucksepg]

I've been messing around with Zen for a couple of weeks off an on, trying to get the layout I want. I've managed to get just about everything looking right but have run into a problem with the spacing of items in the sideboxes.

This thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...hlight=spacing suggests adding a line-height attribute to increase the spacing, but it isn't quite what I wanted, it gives results like this:

This is the first item.

This is the first half of the second item

and this is the second half of the second item.

This is the third item.


I'd like it to turn out like this:

This is the first item.

This is the first half of the second item and
this is the second half of the second item.

This is the third item.


I'm stumped as to what needs to be changed or added. I've tried a few things but I'm not getting it. Any suggestions?
