A **baseline** is an imaginary line along the inline axis of a line box along which individual glyphs of text are aligned. Baselines guide the design of glyphs in a font and they guide the alignment of glyphs from different fonts or font sizes when typesetting.

The alphabetic baseline is value of the CSS `baseline` keyword. The bottom of most alphabetic glyphs typically align with the alphabetic baseline; most characters of a font in European and West Asian typography rest _on top_ of the "alphabetic" baseline.

Different writing systems have different baselines. For example, Tibetan and similar unicameral scripts with a strong but not absolute top edge are aligned to the bottom of a "hanging" baseline. East Asian scripts have no baseline; each glyph sits in a square box, with neither ascenders nor descenders. When mixed with scripts with a low baseline, East Asian characters should be set so that the bottom of the character is between the baseline and the descender height.

The **CSS inline layout** module defines the block-axis alignment and sizing of inline-level content, and adds a special layout mode for drop-caps. It describes the CSS formatting model for a flow of elements and text inside of a container to be wrapped into lines.
