To automatically adjust the line height to the size of the text in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Select the element: Start by selecting the element for which you want to set the line height. This could be a heading, paragraph, or any other text element.

  2. Open the Style panel: Once the element is selected, open the Style panel by clicking on the paintbrush icon in the right sidebar.

  3. Navigate to the Typography section: In the Style panel, navigate to the Typography section. This section contains all the typography-related styling options for the selected element.

  4. Set the line height: Look for the "Line height" option within the Typography section. By default, it may be set to a specific value, such as a pixel or em measurement. Click on the dropdown arrow next to the value to open the options.

  5. Choose "Auto": Within the dropdown options, you will find the "Auto" setting. Selecting this option will make the line height automatically adjust to the size of the text.

  6. Preview and adjust if needed: After setting the line height to "Auto," preview the changes on your website to see how it looks. If you find that the line height is not exactly as you desire, you can fine-tune it by manually adjusting the font size or using custom CSS.

By setting the line height to automatically adjust to the size of the text, your website's typography will appear more balanced and visually appealing. It allows for better legibility and avoids awkward spacing between lines of text.
