How to prevent line-height from adding a margin in the top?

Hi. How do you prevent a line-height from adding a margin at the top? I would like my paragraph to touch the top of my container.

This is a tricky one as often it comes down to the font used. Try using a CSS reset style sheet before adding your own custom code, I like http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ .

Option two is to try setting line-height: 0em;

Option three is to set a negative margin (feels so wrong) e.g. top-margin: -4px;
