Hi all,

Does anyone here know how browsers calculate the leading (vertical distance
between base lines) in a paragrap?

For example, consider this HTML code:

LINE1<P>LINE2

How is the vertical difference between the baselines of LINE1 and LINE2
calculated? I am writing an HTML rendering application and can't figure it
out. Apparently it depends on the font size and metrics, but how exactly?

Thanks in advance.
