Set the line height. Line height will indirectly affect the leading or half-leading. Leading is the distance between successive lines of type.
Syntax
line-height: height | normal | inherit ;
height - A number used to set the line height relative to the font-size, so if the font is 10px and line height is 1.5 then each line will be 15px high.
A fixed line height can also be set in px, pt, cm, % or em but this is not recommended for any element that has descendant elements - the decendants would inherit the same size as the parent instead of a line-height relative to their own font-size.
normal - the user agents default line-height.
inherit - inherit from the parent element.
Examples:
h1 { line-height: 1.0; }
#emw3id { Line-height: 1.5; }
.emw3class {
line-height: 1.2; }

Type is a beautiful group of letters, not a group of beautiful letters. If beauty of music is between the notes, beauty of typography is in the white spaces. |
