Basic Terms and Concepts

Before we go any further, let’s review some basic terms of inline layout, which will be crucial in navigating the following sections:

Anonymous text

This is any string of characters that is not contained within an inline element. Thus, in the markup <p> I'm <em>so</em> happy!</p>, the sequences “ I’m ” and “ happy!” are anonymous text. Note that the spaces are part of the text since a space is a character like any other.

Em box

This is defined in the given font, otherwise known as the character box. Actual glyphs can be taller or shorter than their em boxes. In CSS, the value of font-size determines the height of each em box.
