Research direction

Compare the linked feedland.blog and blogroll.social pages in browser developer tools, starting with the computed styles and box model for objects in class trBlogrollFeed. Trace the rules affecting their height and line layout, then identify the source of the 31px versus 27–27.5px discrepancy and document a reproducible explanation or correction.

Description

I wish you could ask ChatGPT to look at this page.

Now, why is every object in class trBlogrollFeed 31 pixels high? By my computation it should be 27 pixels. Where are the extra pixels coming from? It matters.

For a comparison, the same structure on this page renders at 27.5 pixels which looks just right, but it's weird that it computes it's got that extra half pixel. I don't really believe in half-pixels.

If you have any ideas, post a note here.
