Line Height

We often modify `line-height` to make text on a web page easier to read. When text is styled to appear larger, the vertical spacing between lines of text can decrease, creating text that is difficult to read, particularly in paragraphs.

We can use the `line-height` property to set how tall we want the line containing our text to be, regardless of the height of the text. Line heights can take one of several values:

1. A unitless number, such as `1.2`. This number is an absolute value that will compute the line height as a ratio of the font size.
2. A number specified by unit, such as `12px`. This number can be any valid CSS unit, such as pixels, percents, ems, or rems.

Generally, the unitless ratio value is the preferred method, since it is responsive and based exclusively on the current font size. In other words, if we change the font size, a unitless `line-height` would automatically readjust, whereas the pixel value would remain static.

``````p {
line-height: 1.4;
}``````
