Which baseline should I choose on Basehold?

Hi. I understando how Basehold works but I watch on a CSS Treehouse Video changing the default 24 for a 29 baseline. How may I know which size is good for testing my site?

Thanks

Hey there!

This is just the line height. I usually add 9 to the body font. Example. Your body text is 16px add 9 to get 24px. You can also test the line height in a program like word, indesign or pages. It's all personal preference.

I hope that helps.
