[thelist] CSS and DreamWeaver/Contribute

[Chris Kavanagh]

Dear list,

I'm designing a website in which paragraphs can have a background 
colour.  Some Kens have kindly helped me do that in CSS, rather than by 
using a table.  I've used this CSS:

.emphasis {
	display: block ;
	background-color: #FFE092;
	color: #666666;
	padding-top: 1em;
	padding-bottom: 1em;
}

However, there's a problem.  The client will need to update the content 
himself, and he will need to use a WYSIWYG editor such as Contribute or 
(possibly) Dreamweaver.  When one selects -several- adjacent paragraphs 
and assigns them the "emphasis" style, the editor assigns -each- 
paragraph the style, instead of the -group- of paragraphs.

The end result is that each paragraph has the background colour, but 
they're separate from each other.  What I'd like is for all the 
paragraphs to share the background colour, with no breaks between them. 
  I know how to hand code this, but I can't expect the client to do that 
- he needs to use a WYSIWYG editor.  Is there some kind of CSS trick I 
can use to make this happen?  Otherwise I guess I'll have to use a 
table.

Kind regards,
CK.
