Basics of fixed number lines headline styles
Contents
In headline styles, style designers can define required and allowed number of lines for each headline elements, e.g. for kicker, headline, subheadline and other, and anchor their vertical position.
This provides better control in using headlines from the stylebook (obviously, only in newspaper which consider stylebook and design guidelines useful).
Headline elements in which you activated such advanced controls, will be marked in a special way during editing, as explained below.

Solid lines delimit the required space of a paragraph (1 line for kicker, 2 lines for headline and 2 lines for sub-headline). Dashed lines delimit lines of a multi-line element. Red lines appear where the element is out-of-space (too short or too long), and blue lines where the element is within predefined number of lines. |
This will however not prevent users to write more text than it fits; but the overset will flow in the wrong way, as shown below, and they will have clear guidelines about how much text is expected in any headline element.
