<p>
The vertical-align property is used in two scenarios: to
vertically align inline elements with respect to the line
box, and to vertically align the contents of table cells.
</p>
<p>
When vertically aligning inline elements within a line box,
the vertical-align property can be used with the keywords
top, middle, bottom, text-top, text-bottom.
</p>
<p>
<span class='line'>
Gg
<span id='top'>Top</span>
<span id='middle'>Middle</span>
<span id='bottom'>Bottom</span>
<span id='text-top'>Text Top</span>
<span id='text-bottom'>Text Bottom</span>
</span>
</p>
</body>
