Hi!

I notice dokuwiki has some line-height property values in ems.
Should we remove the em or make them percents (which amounts to the same
thing)?
As you proved yourself by the sentence stated below, it does *not*
completely amount to the same thing ... ;-)
As I understand it, if there is a font-size change in a nested element,
an inherited line-height using em units will not change - ie, it won't
be recalculated for the new font-size. A line-height value using a
unitless number or a percent will be inherited as a ratio and the actual
line-height will be recalculated.
Hmm. I could not rebuild that behaviour (if I understood you correctly).
If you ask what unit should be taken in general or what advantages and
disadvantages they have: I for one am nearly always using em. But that
is most probably only because I am used to it. And that's also the
reason for me not knowing much about percent.
Personally, I don't care for one way or the other in DokuWiki. But it
should be *consistent*. If you liked to make the DokuWiki styles
reasonably so, I am not in your way. :-)
