Compatibility: IE4+ N4+
Version: Level 1
Inherited: Yes

The line-height property defines the distance between adjacent lines. This distance is based upon the size of the font.

normal

The normal value is the default. By declaring normal, you can ensure that any previous declaration will not effect line-height.

number

The number value is multiplied times the font size to get the line-height dimension.

length

The length value can be in any of the following seven units. Use the abbreviation.

Length	Abbrev.
centimeters	cm
ems	em
inches	in
millimeters	mm
picas	pc
pixels	px
points	pt

percentage

The percentage value is based upon the normal line height being defined as 100%. A percentage value below 100% decreases the line height, 100% causes no change, and a value greater than 100% increases the line height.

Code:
p { line-height: normal; }
p { line-height: 1.25; }
br { line-height: 1.5in; }
blockquote { line-height: ;85%; }

<span style="line-height: 30px;">
