Property values

Parameter	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`.
`inherit`	This value specifies that the element inherits the `line-height` property value from the containing element.
