Remove line break from string

I am converting text file into html in C# environment. What I did was changing the extension .txt to .html and replace all the Writeline with <p> tags. The output file prints out everything but there's a line break in between two lines. Any suggestion? 

checkingWriter = File.AppendText(checkingPath);
checkingWriter.WriteLine("<p>Checking SF data<p>");

Checking results for product: d02100
Checking SF data

If you are talking about the HTML view showing empty space between paragraphs, then that is simply what the <p> tag does by default in all browsers. The rule is: if the <p> has content, then show that content and show a bit of empty space before the next element renders. That empty space is called vertical margin.

You can change this behaviour by including this very small CSS definition: p { margin: 0 }.

Demo:

p { margin: 0 }
<p>Checking SF data<p>
<p>Checking other data<p>
<p>Checking more data<p>
<p>Checking final data<p>

And even though most browsers will auto-close <p> (for historic reasons), it is better to close them yourself by putting </p> at the end of each paragraph:

p { margin: 0 }
<p>Checking SF data</p>
<p>Checking other data</p>
<p>Checking more data</p>
<p>Checking final data</p>

And as a response to your comment, it is always possible to include CSS definitions by means of a <style> tag inside the document like this.

<style type="text/css">
    p { margin: 0 }
</style>

You can add a WriteLine() command to output it.
