Visual Formatting Properties

line-height : It specifies the minimal height of a line for a block element and the exact height eight of the element if it's inline. Possible value could be normal or a <number> or a <length> or a<percentage>.

vertical-align : This property affects the vertical positioning of the text over a line. The following values only have meaning with respect to a parent. Possible values are : “baseline” (align the baseline of the text with the baseline of the parent text baseline), , “sub” (lower the baseline of the text to the proper position for subscripts of the parent's text), “super” (raise the baseline of the text to the proper position for superscripts of the parent's text).

display : This describe the types of boxes that the element will be generated. A box type affects, in part, it's behaviour in the visual formating model. Block-level elements are those elements of the source document that are formatted visually as blocks (e.g., paragraphs). Several values of the “display” property make an element block-level : “block”, “list-item” . Inline-level elementsare those elements of the source document that do not form new blocks of content; the content is distibued in lines (e.g., emphazied pieces of text within a paragraph, inline images, ...). Several values of the “display” property make an element inline : “inline”, “inline-table” --NOT SUPPORTED-- and "run-in" (part of the time) --NOT SUPPORTED--.

list-style-type : this property specifies appeareance of the list item marker. The value none specifies no marker, otherwise possible values are : decimal (decimal numbers, beginning with 1), upper-roman (uppercase roman numerals I,II,II,IV ...) and disc which is a little disc icon.
