  • line-height
  • unitless numbers are just fine for this property
  • it’s always strongly recommended that you use unitless numbers if you’re going to set a
  • on something like the
  • or indeed on any element that is going to have descendant elements
  • html or body elements
  • line-height
  • The fact that the CSS validator has a bug that causes it to generate parse errors on unitless number values for line-height (see report #2307) rather confuses things

  The property line-height can accept unitless number values. You can also give line-height united values, though generally you shouldn’t. But unitless numbers are just fine for this property.

  -> if an element has a font size of 15px and a line-height of 1, then the child element with font size = 10px will have a line-height of 10px // using line-height of 1em would pass the computated value, 15px -- that's the trick!
