Thanks Dave. I was unclear in my post. Here are the questions again, better
explained.
The first thing I need to know is how to align a block to the bottom in a
cell. I have a cell that's always exactly 60pt in height, containing two
blocks: A and B. The sum of the height of these blocks are less than 60pt,
and I want B aligned to the bottom, like this:
+-----------+
|+---------+|
|| A ||
|+---------+|
| |
| |
|+---------+|
|| B ||
|+---------+|
+-----------+
Sometimes, there is no A, and I still want B align to the bottom:
+-----------+
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|+---------+|
|| B ||
|+---------+|
+-----------+
So I need a property on the B block that says it will be vertically aligned
to the bottom. Sounds like a simple task, but I can't find such a propoerty.
The other question is whether my background color around the character
shows the actual glyph size, or if there's more space added, like
line-height. Your border example and my background gives the same result,
and I suspect the vertical space shown around the character is more than
the glyph itself uses. Therefore, I also wonder if there's a way to set the
line-height to the height of the character itself?
Again, the output I get is this:
