line-height

line-height (CSS Property)

The line-height property allows you to control the height of each line in your text. This amount can be specified using any of the available CSS length units: px, %, em, in, cm, mm, pt, pc, and ex. This property is optional. If you would like to include it in your generated CSS code simply check the checkbox by it's name and assign it a value and a length unit. You can preview what different line heights might look like simply by pressing the Up or Down arrows on your keyboard to increase or decrease your line height's value. Most often, for smaller fonts you will not need to use this property but I find if you are using larger size fonts you may have to set this property to about 1.3em or 1.4em to allow your text to be easily legible.
