Off topic question about the site vs linked content, but is there a defined description for the style used so that the last sentence in a graph is double spaced like this? The markup does not have any tags to spread them out. I'm at a loss for how it's even done, let alone why one would want it this way.

This looks to me like the effect of a non-technical user using a CMS and hitting "enter" twice in the edit box after each paragraph. There's no "style" being used - it's probably a purely human enforced convention.

(there are tags, there are <br>'s between each paragraph inside the <p>)

but those <br>s are in between the graphs, and they line up with the layout. the last line of the graph does not have those breaks.

i just looked at the site on a different browser, and the anomaly i'm seeing in FF does not appear in the Safari. in Safari, it just has double spaced graphs. in FF, the last line in each graph is also separated by a double space.

in 2023, and we still can't have consistent layouts across browsers. FML

It's some kind of rendering issue difference between Firefox and Safari/Chrome. Safari/Chrome don't have the extra newline there.
