To give developers accurate margins between 2 text boxes, I'm having to draw a rectangle shape manually between them, zooming right in to fit it to the bottom of the text in the first text box, and then stretching it down to fit the top of the text in the 2nd text box. Then I give that measurement to the developer.

I have a flipping huge prototype to do this for. Its stupid. Should have been part of the first released. MVP.

When trying to select the "Line Spacing" for an individual line that I'm highlighting, it affects the line spacing of the entire text box.

If I have a bulleted list where one bullet's content spills over into the next line, I want that line to be closer to the text above it (so that individual bullet looks cohesive), while still maintaining that wider spacing between each bullet in the list.

As a workaround, you have to create another text box for the spillover text. As we can do in InDesign and Photoshop, please introduce capability to adjust line spacing for an individual line.

How is this not a thing?

I can't believe that this post was started back in July 2016 and Adobe still has not added this feature in XD. I have to make a text box for my title to get one line height, then another text box for my paragraph so the line height can be different, and then another text box for my bullet points so I can do another line height.
If I bring a design in from Photoshop, all my text blocks take on the line height of the text that starts the text block. Then I spend a ton of time adjusting all the text in the layout.
I have attached some images where you can see the text block in Photoshop, then an image of what the text block looks like after importing into XD, and then another image that shows that even after I adjusted the text to be the correct line height, the text block is taller then it is supposed to be.
I understand that Adobe considers XD to be a UX tool but how can I import a Photoshop layout into XD to make a prototype if my text is going to go all wacky when it imports?

This is a must-needed feature. Photoshop has this; AI has this; InDesign has this. Why not adobe xd?

I think Indesign does text well. Get your people to talk to their people maybe to see how it should be done? You're part of the same company after all. It's a pretty frustrating experience in XD.

I recently received a Sketch file of a completed app, imported it into XD and then had to spend an entire day splitting text boxes and introducing bullet points just so it aligned with the file I received.

Yep. The ability to apply typographical nuances is something I have grown to expect from Adobe products. The lack of control makes for amateur-looking layouts.

It would be really great to enable different text-styles, line-spacings and space after paragraphs for text in one textbox. Right now it is not possible f.e. to write a headline and text in one textbox and give them different line-spacings. Even MS Word can do that??

Been asking for this for a long time, took a year off XD. Back to check. Nope.

Paragraph Styles! Do it!

Basically we are asking for this to work like EVERY OTHER ADOBE PRODUCT.

Why is the typography in XD so screwed up?

same as "Paragraph spacing / Soft Returns"
solved by honouring soft carriage returns (shift+return) inside a text block

just updated and this is still not fixed - get your dev team some coffee please.

How does this functionality still not exist? So basic but it's the one thing stopping me from properly adopting XD. Please fix the character styles so that they honour line spacing settings or add paragraph styles to deal with this. I'm baffled.

By far my most infuriating missing feature of XD so far. Get this added please.

this is essential to quick mockups, otherwise you end up with dozens of individual text boxes to allow for different styling!

+1

Must have, please and thank you

Please add the feature allowing individual line spacing adjustments between text lines.
