You just have to know to put the .PDs before the paragraphs that come after the space you want to affect: .P normal paragraph .P * list item .PD 0 .P * list item .P * list item .P * list item .PD .P normal paragraph My HTML background had me put the first .PD before the first list item, which bunched the list up against the previous paragraph.
