CSS | line-height Property
The line-height property in CSS is used to set the amount of space used for lines, such as in the text. Negative values are not allowed.
Syntax:
line-height: normal|number|length|percentage|initial|inherit;
Property values:
- normal: This mode represents the normal line height. This is the default value.
line-height: normal;
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>CSS line-height Property</title><style>.geek {line-height: normal;background: green;color: white;}</style></head><bodystyle="text-align:center;"><h1style="color:green;">GeeksforGeeks</h1><h2>CSS line-height Property</h2><divclass="geek">A computer science portal for geeks.<br>This div has line-height: normal;</div></body></html>Output:
- number: This value is a unitless number multiplied with the current font-size to set the line height. In most cases, this is the preferred way to set line-height and avoid unexpected results due to inheritance.
