vertical-align: middle
(Note. You will need images enabled to see the problems depicted below).
In the following paragraph, all images should be middle aligned with the default text, the size of which is shown by the first segment of text. Middle align means that the middle of the image should be aligned with the middle (i.e., the baseline plus one half the x-height) of the default text. Any text should be aligned with the text baseline (which is the default value).
This paragraph
contains many images
of varying heights
all of which
should have their center aligned
with the middle of
a 14-point text element
regardless of the line in which
the images appear.
