# Line Height for

For details about what values Typographic elements use, have a look at the [Fonts & Typography](/quickguide-designer/fonts#typographic-elements) documentation.

## Default `line-height` **rem** table

| Pixel                                   | Type       | Rem                                          | CSS variable / property  | CSS Classname                   | Info             |
| --------------------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| {GetPropAsPx('--line-height-x-small')}  | `x-small`  | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-x-small')}**  | `--line-height-x-small`  | `.dnb-t__line-height--x-small`  |                  |
| {GetPropAsPx('--line-height-small')}    | `small`    | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-small')}**    | `--line-height-small`    | `.dnb-t__line-height--small`    |                  |
| {GetPropAsPx('--line-height-basis')}    | `basis`    | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-basis')}**    | `--line-height-basis`    | `.dnb-t__line-height--basis`    |                  |
| {GetPropAsPx('--line-height-lead')}     | `lead`     | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-lead')}**     | `--line-height-lead`     | `.dnb-t__line-height--lead`     | Same as `medium` |
| {GetPropAsPx('--line-height-medium')}   | `medium`   | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-medium')}**   | `--line-height-medium`   | `.dnb-t__line-height--medium`   |                  |
| {GetPropAsPx('--line-height-large')}    | `large`    | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-large')}**    | `--line-height-large`    | `.dnb-t__line-height--large`    |                  |
| {GetPropAsPx('--line-height-x-large')}  | `x-large`  | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-x-large')}**  | `--line-height-x-large`  | `.dnb-t__line-height--x-large`  |                  |
| {GetPropAsPx('--line-height-xx-large')} | `xx-large` | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-xx-large')}** | `--line-height-xx-large` | `.dnb-t__line-height--xx-large` |                  |

### Responsive typography (BETA)

**NB**: This feature is in beta and may be subject to change.

Wrap a section of your UI in `<Typography.Context responsive>` to enable typography that adapts automatically across breakpoints.
Typography components inside the wrapper, like `H2`, `Span`, `P`, `Heading`, will start using the responsive variables in the table below.

You can turn it off for a section using `<Typography.Context responsive={false}>`.

| CSS Variable                        | `← small` | `small → medium` | `medium →` |
| ----------------------------------- | --------- | ---------------- | ---------- |
| `--responsive-line-height-x-small`  | 1.25rem   | 1.25rem          | 1.25rem    |
| `--responsive-line-height-small`    | 1.25rem   | 1.25rem          | 1.25rem    |
| `--responsive-line-height-basis`    | 1.25rem   | 1.5rem           | 1.5rem     |
| `--responsive-line-height-medium`   | 1.5rem    | 1.5rem           | 1.5rem     |
| `--responsive-line-height-large`    | 2rem      | 2rem             | 2rem       |
| `--responsive-line-height-x-large`  | 2rem      | 2.5rem           | 2.5rem     |
| `--responsive-line-height-xx-large` | 2rem      | 2.5rem           | 3.5rem     |

All `--responsive-line-height-*` CSS variables are scoped to typography components (`P`, `Heading`, `Span`, `Lead`, `H1`, `H2`, etc.) as of now. If you need to use them elsewhere you can use the `.dnb-t` class.

### Code Editor Extensions

You may be interested in installing an [Eufemia code editor extension](/uilib/usage/first-steps/tools/#code-editor-extensions) that allows you to quickly auto complete the correct `line-height`.

## Additional `line-height` **em** table

| Pixel | Type           | Em                                               | Custom Property              | Info   |
| ----- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------- | ------ |
| 16px  | `xx-small--em` | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-xx-small--em')}** | `--line-height-xx-small--em` |        |
| 24px  | `basis--em`    | **{GetPropValue('--line-height-basis--em')}**    | `--line-height-basis--em`    | **\*** |

**\*** For example: if we sum 1.33333333333\*18 we get 24. Browsers do round CSS values, so we do not need all the decimal numbers for now.

### How to use the line heights (CSS)

```css
/* I have a default height */
.dnb-p {
  line-height: var(--line-height-basis); /* 1.5rem = 24px (in Ui theme) */
}
```
