I'm still a no-limit partisan, but it's nice to have a specific example to work from. I am assuming this would be based only on the current linebox height (or probably line-height, since linebox height is something that's not directly controllable by authors). Whether there is a line above and/or below and what their heights are wouldn't figure in. In the picture, the yellow area is actually going about two heights above the initial position, and only one height below. If we're going with a limit, that would be fine - but we might want to allow two heights in both directions for symmetry. If we do limit things based on line-height (or linebox height), there is an escape hatch authors can use for single lines of text - setting line-height to an absurdly large amount to make a larger offset available. I suppose that could be taken up by both sides (limits: look, for weird things you can work around it) (no-limits: whatever implementation benefits accrue from a limit can be subverted, so you still need to figure out how to handle it) -- GitHub Notification of comment by astearns Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4059#issuecomment-512519197 using your GitHub account
