@adactio @craigmod Do you have any advice on what to do if I wanted to understand the history of line-height CSS property and why it was made the way it was? I tried this, but found little:pic.twitter.com/EuNQyDj1HJ

This MDN resource has a little histograph of the line-height CSS spec: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/line-height …
It links to this CSS1 reference https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1/#line-height …. Not sure if this is what you're looking for.
Thanks for this! I am looking for conversations or context that could explain the reasoning behind the behavior; perhaps the original discussions that led to it (no pun intended), assuming these exist somewhere internetical?
This thread starts to reveal some conversation around line-height, around the time that the CSS1 spec was adopted: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/1996Sep/0055.html ….pic.twitter.com/OvxJ9271Mb
This bit is hilarious to me: And (4) most people will know what 'line-height' means when they see it for the first time, and they will be able to remember it, while 'leading' probably only associates with the verb "to lead" or the heavy metal.
I genuinely love that CSS uses “human-readable” strings for a bunch of typographical terms. Letter-spacing is another example (vs. tracking).
