[Edit Description]
If you're a web designer, you're probably familiar with the typographical concept of "baseline rhythm".
While tackeling the problem on this site, all I could find was baseline rhytm calculators. Sure, that helps a little, but it wasn't quite what I needed. So I wrote this bookmarklet, creatively named "Baseline Checker".
What it does
It draws equally spaced horizontal lines on top of a webpage. The position and the distance between the lines is calculated in reference to a particular element on that page.
With it, you can see for yourself if the baseline is consistent or not.How to use it
1. "Install" the bookmarklet by dragging ( Baseline Checker ) to your bookmarks menu. 2. Go to a webpage and then click the bookmarklet. 3. Click an element on the page.
