Remarks

Windows Internet Explorer 8. The -ms-layout-grid-char attribute is an extension to CSS, and can be used as a synonym for layout-grid-char in IE8 Standards mode.

The visual effects of the -ms-layout-grid-char attribute are similar to the line-height property.

Web documents in Asian languages, such as Chinese or Japanese, usually create a page layout for characters using a one- or two-dimensional grid. You can use the -ms-layout-grid attribute to incorporate this layout into Web documents.

The -ms-layout-grid-char attribute applies only to block-level elements.

Note  For this property to have an effect, the -ms-layout-grid-mode attribute must be set to line or both.
