<ratio>

The <ratio> CSS data type, used for describing aspect ratios in media queries, denotes the proportion between two unitless values.

Syntax

In Media Queries Level 3, the <ratio> data type consisted of a strictly positive <integer> followed by a forward slash ('/', Unicode U+002F SOLIDUS) and a second strictly positive <integer>. Spaces before and after the slash are optional. The first number represents the width, while the second represents the height.

In Media Queries Level 4, the <ratio> date type is updated to consist of a strictly positive <number> followed by a forward slash ('/', Unicode U+002F SOLIDUS) and a second strictly positive <number>. In addition a single <number> as a value is allowable.

The line-height CSS property sets the height of a line box. It's commonly used to set the distance between lines of text. On block-level elements, it specifies the minimum height of line boxes within the element. On non-replaced inline elements, it specifies the height that is used to calculate line box height.
