Description

number

This value specifies the line height as a factor of the font height. That is, the number you specify is multiplied with the font size to determine the line actual line height. For example, setting line-height: 1.5 for a 12pt font will result in an applied line height of 18pt.

percentage

This value specifies the line height as a percentage of the font size.

normal

This value specifies that the BlackBerry® Browser renders the line height using browser-determined line height, which typically results in a numeric value of 1.0 to 1.2.
