LI spacing issue revisited

Sent by Barney Carroll on 24 January 2007 11:11


Hi Eoin,

I modified your CSS as follows:

..wrapper li
{
	border:1px solid red;
	padding:0px;
	margin:0px;
}


..wrapper li a

{
         display:block;
	border:1px solid blue;
	text-decoration:none;
	color:black;
	font-size:.7em;
	padding:0;
	margin:0;
         height:1em;
}

This gets you _pretty_ close. As of the present, it's impossible to get 
micro-typography done to any satisfying standard - the dilema is that if 
you want real control over metrics you have to make the object a block 
level box, but then your text metrics become ambiguous, especially in 
their relation to the surrounding box.

As it stands, the modifications I made above get rid of virtually 
everything except the line-height. But as you may or may not discover, 
ems are pretty entropic!

Regards,
Barney
