Misalignment issues about gutenberg HOT 7 OPEN

Yeah lots of people asked about this. It's just how line-height works on the web. The text is supposed to be sitting right in the middle of the baseline grid lines.

That can be done on the web, I've seen it already, but it gets tricky when you allow users to be able to change the font and line-height and it could get messed up really quickly.

I thought the idea of a baseline grid is to have text sit on the baseline --> see this screenshot. Do you see the difference between the two screenshots?

Hey @mihaisavezi I'm sorry but I don't see what the problem is... everything seems aligned on the screenshot... Gutenberg uses 0.5 line-height (or leading) for some measurements like margins and how many "line-heights" a heading takes. It can be 1.5, that's why we have this double grid, so you can still see if it fits.

I have to agree with @mihaisavezi it looks like a bug. I refer to this article: https://medium.com/written-in-code/aligning-type-to-baseline-the-right-way-using-sass-e258fce47a9b#.i6vsda3o8 as a great, yet simple, explanation of a baseline grid for web type.

hey @matejlatin even when looking at the gutenberg website and assuming that everything should be in the middle of the line, it looks like there are some missalignments

@mswiszcz no it's still correct actually, you need to enable the "double grid". Then those lines will also align. I tend to use the double grid so it gives more flexibility in assigning line heights and font sizes.

The paragraph at the very top and the one below the first headline are aligned differently, is that expected? Same with 1st and 2nd headlines. It's a bit confusing, not an expert on typo though
