Controls line-breaking rules for Japanese text.
CSS Syntax
line-break: normal | strict
Value One of the following constants: normal | strict.
Initial Value normal
Example p {letter-break: strict}
Applies To Block-level elements .
Object Model Reference
[window.]document.getElementById("elementID").style.lineBreak
line-height
IE 4 NN 4 Moz all Saf all Op all CSS 1
Inherited: Yes
Sets the height of the inline box (the box holding one physical line of content). Under normal circumstances, the line-height of the tallest font in a line of text or the tallest object governs the line height for that content line.
CSS Syntax
line-height: normal | number | length | percentage
Value
A value of normal lets the browser calculate line spacing for the entire element, thus producing a computed value that can be inherited by nested elements. A number value (greater than zero) acts as a multiplier for the font-size of the current element. Therefore, if a nested element inherits the line-height multiplier from its parent, that multiplier is applied to the current element’s font-size setting (the multiplier, not the computed value of the parent, is inherited). A length value assigns an actual value to the inline box height. And a percentage value is a multiplier applied to the font size of the current element. In this case, the computer value can be inherited by nested elements.
Initial Value normal
Example
p {line-height: normal} /* Browser default; actual value is inheritable */
p {line-height: 1.1} /* Number value; the number value is inheritable */
p {line-height: 1.1em} /* Length value; the actual value is inheritable */
p {line-height: 110%} /* Percentage value; percentage times font size */
/* is inheritable /*
Applies To All elements.
Object Model Reference
[window.]document.getElementById("elementID").style.lineHeight
list-style
IE 4 NN n/a Moz all Saf all Op all CSS 1
Inherited: Yes
This is a shorthand property for setting up to three list-style properties in one assignment statement. Whichever properties you don’t explicitly set with this property assume their initial values. These properties define display characteristics for the markers automatically rendered for list items inside ol and ul elements.
CSS Syntax
list-style: list-style-type || list-style-position || list-style-image
Value
See the individual property entries for list-style-type, list-style-position, and list-style-image for details on acceptable values for each. You may include one, two, or all three values in the list- style property setting in any order you wish.
Initial Value None.
Example ul {list-style: square outside none}
Applies To
dd, dt, li, ol, and ul elements and any other element assigned the display: list-item style property.
Object Model Reference
[window.]document.getElementById("elementID").style.listStyle
