Block Step Sizing https://www.w3.org/TR/css-rhythm/

block-step-size: <length> Requires used height = n × <length>, for an integer n

block-step-insert: margin | padding

block-step-align: auto | center | start | end

intra What happens at page/column breaks?

</Inter-Paragraph Spacing>

Trimming Text

Align Me! Here's some paragraph text following the heading, which should wrap around the float eventually, assuming it's long enough to reach a few lines below the bottom of it...

Delete the top margin... Align Me! Here's some paragraph text following the heading, which should wrap around the float eventually, assuming it's long enough to reach a few lines below the bottom of it...

Add negative margin??? Align Me! Here's some paragraph text following the heading, which should wrap around the float eventually, assuming it's long enough to reach a few lines below the bottom of it...

>_____< Align Me! Here's some paragraph text following the heading, which should wrap around the float eventually, assuming it's long enough to reach a few lines below the bottom of it...

OpenType metrics cap-height ascent ex-height alphabetic baseline descent Ap

leading-trim-over: normal | text | cap | ex | ideographic leading-trim-under: normal | text | alphabetic | ideographic

h2 { leading-trim: cap; } Align Me! Here's some paragraph text following the heading, which should wrap around the float eventually, assuming it's long enough to reach a few lines below the bottom of it...

h2 { leading-trim: cap; } Align Me! Here's some paragraph text following the heading, which should wrap around the float eventually, assuming it's long enough to reach a few lines below the bottom of it...

h2 { leading-trim: cap; }

h2 { leading-trim: cap; }

I thought this was a World-Wide Web? IDEOGRAPHIC CHARACTER FACE TOP CAP HEIGHT ???? EX HEIGHT

Your metrics are bad, and you should feel bad.

Open Questions Behavior at page/column breaks? Separate cascading/inheritance of metric vs. trigger? Multiple font sizes on the first/last line?

Vertical Alignment

unaligned text Abra Cadabra!
