I’m seeing the following CSS declaration in a stylesheet:

What does the 12px/18px part mean exactly?
12pxis the font size,18pxis the line height.The syntax is based on typographical notation for specifying the respective sizes, and is only applicable to the
fontshorthand property. In other words, the above declaration simply expands to the following:As always, if you set the line height to a relative value (e.g. percentage or ems), it’s calculated relative to the font size.
