This property defines the <dfn>step unit</dfn> for line box heights.
126+
A <a>step unit</a> is the length of the vertical rhythm,
127+
usually the distance from one baseline to the next baseline of the body text.
128+
Body text should fit into one <a>step unit</a>,
129+
and taller lines such as headings
130+
should have heights of two or more <a>step unit</a>s.
131+
Vertical rhythm is created
132+
by making heights of all lines an integer multiple of the <a>step unit</a>.
133+
126134
When the <a>step unit</a> is set to a positive <<length>>,
127135
the line box heights are rounded <i>up</i> to
128136
the closest multiple of the unit.
