dominant-baseline

The dominant-baseline CSS property specifies the specific baseline used to align the box’s text and inline-level contents. It also indicates the default alignment baseline of any boxes participating in baseline alignment in the box’s alignment context. If present, it overrides the shape’s attribute.

Baselines are selected from the font baseline table. If there is no baseline table in the nominal font, or if the baseline table lacks an entry for the desired baseline, then the browser may use heuristics to determine the position of the desired baseline.

The dominant-baseline property is used to determine or re-determine a scaled-baseline-table. A scaled-baseline-table is a compound value with three components:

Syntax example: dominant-baseline: auto;
