Vertical Alignment Properties - Baseline Shift

This document tests vertical alignment of inline elements. The test consists of several lines of text; line height is 30 pt. Each line is structured as follows:

gray background marks the unshifted line;
black border marks an inline shifted by the amount specified by the first word inside it. This box serves as a reference to all other elements;
yellow background marks a nested inline unshifted from the reference box. The rectangle should contain the word "unshifted" and be aligned within the reference box;
light blue background marks an inline shifted from the reference box by the speficied amount.

To facilitate test interpretation, a ruler is drawn at the left of the text.
