html, css – weird invisible margin below pictures

by

This is actually not that uncommon. It’s because the image is an inline elements so there is some space between the bottom of the image, which is placed on the base line of the text, and the bottom of the text line.

The easiest solution to this is to simply use display:block; to turn the image into a block element. Floating the image using float:left; or float:right; also works as that also turns it into a block element.

Adjusting properties like the vertical-align, font-size and line-height may also affect the distance, but it’s not as robust as it doesn’t really remove the effect. It might still appear in some circumstances.
