I want to be able to adjust (increase) the Leading of HTML text so that it shows up when I Preview, publish, or view in any browser. I’m using Freeway Pro 6.
I have set up an number of Permanent Text Styles with the Leading that I’d like to see (120%). When I apply these Styles to text the Leading is reflected in Page view but not when I Preview or view in different browsers.
However, if I set the text to show as a GIF image I can see the Leading in Preview, when I publish, or view in different browsers.
You may have better luck if you set your leading in pixels, rather than percent. For some reason, percentages can be ambiguous between browsers, as if they are choosing a different base to work from. But when you use pixels, you get something that they can agree on.
When I hand-code, I use relative units, so your 120% would be written as 1.2. That’s kind of tight, in my opinion. I usually start at 1.3 and often go to 1.4 when I have longer line-lengths to contend with. But it’s immaterial here, because Freeway won’t let you use these kinds of units (it interprets 1.3 as 1.3px).

Current version of Freeway Pro takes the user input of 130% and writes it
as the relative 1.3 – I know, go figure.
It seems to accept px or em measurements if they are written in the user
field.
