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-height of the parent text content element
• an absolute value.
