Concerning the head.

Let’s say I have text paragraphs and above some of them I have a head (let’s say it’s an ingredients for a cookbook):

FOR THE CAKE
This is an ingredient
This is another ingredient
And another.

FOR THE FROSTING
This is an ingredient
This is another ingredient
etc.

If I want space above or below those capitalized heads, I would need to add space above/below in the paragraph style sheet.

If the whole thing is on 14 leading, and I only want space above the heads, I would add 14 points space above.

If I wanted only a half line above and a half line below, I would add 7 points above and 7 points below.

Does that make sense?
