Why do HTML tags reduce my line spacing in Codidact posts?
When I use an HTML tag to alter the appearance of a paragraph in a Codidact post, it works but the line spacing is reduced, which I do not want. Why is this? Is there anything I can do about it?

## Example
### Raw text input

```text
A long, drawn out, meandering test paragraph. This is more than long enough to wrap across multiple rendered lines purely for demonstration purposes. This allows seeing exactly what the line spacing looks like after saving, for ease of comparison.

<strike>

</strike>
```

### Rendered output
A long, drawn out, meandering test paragraph. This is more than long enough to wrap across multiple rendered lines purely for demonstration purposes. This allows seeing exactly what the line spacing looks like after saving, for ease of comparison.
