Adjusting line height for formatted text in code block

Hi!

I'm adding a custom code block simply to override the color for my Heading 2, but when I do that, the block adds a lot of spacing above and below the text as compared to simple text block with Heading 2 text. How can I reduce this padding?

See the screenshot below:

My code is simple:

<p><h2><font color="4a4a4a">Sample Text</font color="4a4a4a"></h2></p>
 

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Steve

Thank you -- that worked.
