How to doublespace <LI> tags

[Wayfarer]

Hi,

I have a page that displays quotations that uses an unordered list. I
tried to do the following:

<ul>
<li>some text<br></li>
</ul>

but the W3C Validator told me it wasn't valid for 4.01 Transitional.
How can I double-space <li> tags and have it pass as valid? Is there
some way to do it with CSS? Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Yes.

li {margin-bottom: 2em; }

Season to taste.

How can I double-space <li> tags

li{padding:1em 0;} has the most consistent behavior between browsers

I believe changing the <br> to <br /> would make it valid, but the other
tips in this thread are better ways of making a list with large spaces.

I believe changing the <br> to <br /> would make it valid,

the OP is using html4.01 transitional not xhtml

No, that would be XHTML, not HTML. It does validate - must be something
else on the page that is wrong.
