Line spacing within code block is too wide, how to change?

[Desiree_Anson]

I have a block of code that I can make display with the right font, but the paragraph is stretched out so that there is a lot of space between the lines of text.  I want to get rid of the space between the lines.  Is there any way to do this?  The format of this is "code", normal text.  I've tried the Shift+Enter which just produces the same result, extra space between the lines.  Thank you for any help you can give.

I believe that this is no longer the case. Example of Code Snippet macro below...

Thank you for your reply.  I wonder if it depends on the page type in Atlassian I'm using.  When I type information in JIRA, it shows like yours above.  But when I type in our Wiki page, it still shows the bad format.

This is in our Confluence product.

could it be that you are are on the old editor? Are you able to enter "/code snippet" or do you need to click on the "+" and select "code block"?

[Desiree_Anson]

The "/code snippet" worked, thank you!  I expected to see code block as an option in the section that has the choices for bold, italic, underline, etc. There is "code" as an option in that section so I thought that was all that was possible.

But I see now clicking "+" in that drop down there is code snippet.  Thank you very much for the help!
