How In-Line Elements Are Mixed in Text Lines?
If an in-line element is mixed in a text line, it will be placed immediately
after the preceding character. The vertical position of the in-line element
will be determined by its vertical alignment style property, vertical-align,
as shown in the following tutorial exercise:
<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
H1 {font-size: 20px}
DIV.page {width: 425px; border: 1px solid black}
TABLE#out {background-color: #ffdddd}
TD#box {border: 1px solid black}
P#box {width: 300px; height: 300px;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 30px;
background-color: #ddddff}
STRONG {font-size: 30px;
line-height: 60px;
background-color: #ffffff}
EM {font-size: 30px;
line-height: 60px;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: #ffffff}
TD.legend#w30 {height: 30px; background-color: #ffffff}
TD.legend#w60 {height: 60px; background-color: #ffffff}
TD.legend#g30 {height: 30px; background-color: #dddddd}
TD.legend#g60 {height: 60px; background-color: #dddddd}
</style>
</head><body><div class="page">
<H1>Text Paragraph with In-line Elements</H1>
<table id=out><tr>
<td id=box><p id=box>

Save this document as inLineElements.html, and view it with a browser,
you will see that in-line elements are vertically aligned at the bottom.
If the in-line element is a text string, its line-height specifies the full height
including margins. See the following image for details:
How In-line Elements Affect Line Box Heights?
If a line box contains only text without any in-line elements, its height
is equal to the line-height property of the enclosing block element.
If a line box contains text mixed with in-line elements, its height will be
affected by heights of in-line elements and their vertical alignments. The new
height will be the distance from the top of the highest in-line element
to the bottom of the lowest in-line element.
