Examples

Setting step unit for line box height

In the following example, the height of line box in each paragraph is rounded up to the step unit. The line box in <h1> does not fit into one step unit and thus occupies two, but it is still centered within the two step unit.

:root {   font-size: 12pt;   --my-grid: 18pt;   line-height-step: var(--my-grid); } h1 {   font-size: 20pt;   margin-top: calc(2 * var(--my-grid)); } 

The result of these rules is shown below in the following screenshot:
