Yes you can control the spacing. But not if you use HTML. HTML is a
content markup language *NOT* a text setting system. If you insist on
double spacing, pick one of the many languages which allow you that;
to mention a few: PDF, PostScript and (La)TeX.

HTML lets the *reader* choose how text is set.
