Text formatting CSS query

[Brian Tozer]

How do I control with CSS the vertical spacing between a row of text and the
wrapped text that automatically flows onto the next line when the text
string is longer than the available width?

Thanks

..text {line-height: 1.2em;}

Season to taste.

line-height.

The default in most browsers seems to be line-height:1.25em;

No, that would be very bad. It might be close to
line-height: 1.25
(which _is_ a different thing, though the effects often coincide)
although the official recommendation is "between 1.0 to 1.2".
This is one reason why it is often useful to set line-height even
globally, e.g. to 1.25 or 1.3 or even higher, especially if a
sans-serif font with relatively large x height is used.
