You may want to read the following document to see latest thoughts on the subject at http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-linebox/ (an update should be available soon, but the part describing 'text-height', 'line-height' and 'line-stacking-strategy' have been fairly stable.) Michel -----Original Message----- From: Staffan Måhlén [mailto:staffan.mahlen@telia.com] Hi, I'd like to know why non-replaced inline rendering works the way it does. The archives have many interesting discussions on how it is done, but i failed to find explanations on why. To try and clarify my questions somewhat; what is the advantage of having non-replaced inline nodes height dependant on font-height rather than children height (that is, including margin/padding/border etc)? Further, what is the advantage of having line-boxes not always being as high as the contents within them? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, /Staffan
