HTML DOM Style lineHeight Property

HTML Web Development Front End Technology

The HTML DOM Style lineHeight property is used to set the line height, which is the distance between the lines in a text.

Following is the syntax to set the lineHeight property −

object.style.lineHeight

Following is the syntax to return the lineHeight property −

object.style.lineHeight = "normal|number|length|%|initial|inherit"

Above, the values are described below −

normal: Normal line height. Default.
number: A number multiplied with the current font size to set the line height
length: line height in length units
%: line height in % of the current font size
initial: Sets this property to its default value.
inherit: Inherits this property from its parent element.

Let us now see an example to implement the DOM Style lineHeight property −
