Topic: Simple tag infromation help (<h1> tag) (Page 1 of 1)

im almost sorry to ask such a simple questions but here it goes. i am building my website and i ran into an issue. i have a two lines of text which i want formated as one like righ tof the other like so:

The first line of text
The second line of text right after.

the only problem is the first line of text i want to be an <h1></h1> raped around it so i can control the look and feel all through css. now the problem comes with the <h1> tag which is like the <p> tag which automatically puts a blank line in between the two lines of text like so:

The first line of text

The second line of text. (notice the space inbetween)

my question is, is there a way to change the <h1> tage so that its stops putting that space in. im am trying to avoid using a styles tag because it would work out much easier with changing the layout in the futher if i could just control it with css.

h1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
line-height: 100%;
}

p {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
