'line-height' changes the height of lines inside an element. The ambigous
case where an element is the content too (img, br, hr, ...) it only changes
it's own 'line-height', not the one of it's parent or sisters:
<span style="line-height: 1em;">
white-space<br style="line-height: 0.5em;" />
</span>
does not affect the span's line-height, and not the 'white-space' string,
and in effect does nothing at all.
Which I count as good behaviour, because it's really uggly if you put
for example:
<span style="line-height: 4em;">
<img src="bla.png" style="display: inline; line-height: 2em;" />
<img src="bla.png" style="display: inline; line-height: 3em;" />
<img src="bla.png" style="display: inline; line-height: 4em;" />
<img src="bla.png" style="display: inline; line-height: 5em;" />
</span>
What's the line-height in XHTML Trans (where the line-height bleeds to
it's parent and neighbours)? [rethorical question]
My suggestion is not to use it _in_ the text, but _on_ the text (<p>, <div>).
Favourably, and if you can, only on block-elements.
