Include Baseline Grid for text

I really like the feature on InDesign where you can view the baseline grid for text. Since the placement of text on a website depends on where it sits in its own baseline grid, it would be really helpful if there was a way to toggle it on and off.

Having this would make it easier to know where exactly a block of text would be placed if it were say, 30px underneath an image.

It would also really help if I wanted to make a word have a background color, so I could easily figure out how tall that background block should be, and where it should be placed in relation to the word.

    include baseline grid not only for text but for overall design consistency and order

  • Gina commented  ·   ·  Report

    Add the Baseline Grid function asap possible, please!
    It would be so helpful.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree, it would be super helpful, can't believe it's not there already!

    Adobe, add a Baseline Grid function please!

    I hope it's not too much to ask for.

  • Milan De Vito commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please, just focus on development for basic functions like baseline grids, multiple borders and fills, etc., then worry about advanced features later.

    HAS THIS STILL NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED?! Nice to see Adobe listening to its users :)

  • Hala Yasmin commented  ·   ·  Report

    Its been 4 years since this feedback. Please we NEED baseline grid.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    For me this feature is absolutely necessary. Also the height of a text element should be determined by the line-height. Otherwise working with a baseline grid would be impossible.

    PLEASE why dont they have baseline grids???!

  • Paul commented  ·   ·  Report

    YES Baseline grid please! This is/should be a no brainer!!

  • Henry Owens commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree, this is essential - especially when it comes to converting a design into code. The strange behavior with a container being placed around text (and the container snapping to the grid rather than the baseline) makes it incredible difficult to deploy a material design layout (or anything else that requires alignment of the baseline to a 4pt or 8pt grid).

    Yes, Adobe XD will be a huge letdown without baseline grid.
