G'day
...I've noticed that the CSS 'line-height' property provides extra spacing between list items, such as in an ordered list, unordered list, as well as definition lists.
I was wondering if anyone else uses 'line-height' - or do most people use 'margin'?
I'd stick with margins (or padding) unless you also want extra white-space between lines in a list item if the items wrap.
Example (simulated as this is plain text email):
* First list item
* Second list item does not fit on one line.
Using line-height the second line would be
a long way from the first...
* Third list item
Would the following not be better?
* First list item
* Second list item does not fit on one line but since we use margin, the lines stay together
* Third list item
Margin, padding and line-height are presentational attributes, which is why we use CSS for them. I don't think semantics come into it. But I may be wrong.
