Re: Line spacing of SMALL text in a table

Load small.html and place something so that you can see where "Line
ten" is placed, vertically.

Now load small_strict.html
You should find that "Line ten" has moved down a little. The fonts
seem the same, so perhaps it is the line spacing of the text.

Can I control this?

Here is the source; the only difference between the two is the doctype

No, the former has <SMALL> instead of a proper closing </SMALL>.

Moreover, the absence of a doctype triggers Quirks Mode, which means... a
**** of differences, see

The trouble is, 99% of my pages are yet to acquire a doctype, and my
eyes, and my users are used to the way the quirks more looks.

I'm heading in the right direction, though. Like driving my car, I
suspect that everyone will pass me eventually, but that's OK. I prefer
most people to be in front of me, where I can watch what they are doing.
