The baseline-shift attribute allows repositioning of the dominant-baseline relative to the dominant-baseline of the parent text content element. The shifted object might be a sub- or superscript.
As a presentation attribute, it also can be used as a property directly inside a CSS stylesheet, see css baseline-shift for further information.
Usage context
| Categories | Presentation attribute |
|---|---|
| Value | auto | baseline | super | sub | <percentage> | <length> | inherit |
| Animatable | Yes |
| Normative document | SVG 1.1 (2nd Edition) |
- baseline
- There is no baseline shift; the dominant-baseline remains in its original position.
- sub
- The dominant-baseline is shifted to the default position for subscripts.
- super
- The dominant-baseline is shifted to the default position for superscripts.
- <percentage>
- The resulting value of the property is this percentage multiplied by the
line-heightof the<text>element. The dominant-baseline is shifted in the shift direction (positive value) or opposite to the shift direction (negative value) of the parent text content element by the resulting value. A value of "0%" is equivalent to "baseline". - <length>
- The dominant-baseline is shifted in the shift direction (positive value) or opposite to the shift direction (negative value) of the parent text content element by the <length> value. A value of "0cm" is equivalent to "baseline".
