Forum:Reference numbers bad for the layout

Hello, for my Wikia I make a lot of use of ref & /ref. The numbers that replace them however, create an extra space between the line of the ref and the line above it. Have a look here to see what I mean.

Is there any way to fix this? I noticed Wikipedia itself doesn't have this problem. --Zantam03 15:54, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Has it been fixed as it looks 'normal' to me just now. I had problems with some templates caing a line jump after an inline template and it was due to an error i had made modifing one of the sub templates. I had inseted some comment text in the templae which caused a 'invisible' space to force new line to be generated when the code was processed. - BulldozerD11 16:32, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * No it hasn't been fixed and it doesn't look normal to me. Maybe it depends on the browser? I use Google Chrome --Zantam03 16:42, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Have a look at this:[[file:Example ref.jpg|100px]] If you count the red pixels you'll see the difference. --Zantam03 16:48, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Apologies Zamtam I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought it was forcing a new line which was a problem i experienced with a different template. I Can not say I have noticed a 1 pixel diff on my wiki between line spacings. I use the Refs template quite abit. I'm on firefox. The gap may be sightly less on wikipedia above the [1] but without getting a screen shot & zooming in cannot tell. - BulldozerD11 19:11, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sure it's easy to fix using CSS.
 * Try with the "line-height: xx px;" style. — TulipVorlax 00:15, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Many browsers automatically allocate more height to lines that contain superscript or subscript characters. References are superscript, so the line has slightly increased height. —Lowellian (reply) 01:26, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
