This attribute is inherited.

Settings

If there is more than one element on a formatted line, the maximum 'line-height' will apply. One should therefore be careful when setting 'line-height' on inline elements.

Negative values are not allowed.

DIV { line-height: 1.2%; font-size: 10pt } /* number */

DIV { line-height: 1.2em; font-size: 10pt } /* length */

DIV { line-height: 120%; font-size: 10pt } /* percentage */

The three rules in the above example are identical. If the value is set to 'normal', the line-height is set to a reasonable value for the element's font. It is recommended that the 'normal' value be set between 1.0 and 1.2.
