[pmwiki-users] Skin Creation?

To make things worse, PmWiki:WikiStyles allows people to have something 
like:

   %p myclassname otherclass% My paragraph.

where you will get something like

   <p class="vspace myclassname otherclass">...

So you may want to take such cases into account too.

The easiest may be to just style '.vspace' and eventually 'p' without 
anything else.

In the default skins, ".vspace" is sized exactly the height of one text 
line, so if you have a table with 2 columns of text, their text lines 
stay aligned. At least this was the intention.
