Remarks
The IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::baselineShift property allows repositioning of the dominant baseline relative to the dominant baseline of the parent text content element. The shifted object might be a subscript or superscript. Within the shifted object, the whole baseline table is offset; not just a single baseline. The amount of the shift is determined by one of the following:
- the parent text content element
- the subscript or superscript offset from the nominal font of the parent text content element
- the percent of the
line-heightof the parent text content element - an absolute value.
