By default, a p tag inserts some amount of vertical space between
paragraphs. How in css can I increase or decrease this space?  I know
line-height controls leading between individual lines.  What controls
space between paragraphs?

Hi,

You can use margin-top or margin-bottom to adjust the space between
elements, including paragraphs. (You can also use padding-top and
padding-bottom, but then you can't use negative values like you can
when adjusting the margin.)

The amount of space between paragraphs can be adjusted either a fixed
amount (as in pixels) or a percentage of the element size.

An example of a margin adjustment in action can be seen on this page:

I hope you find this information fully answers your question.
