The vertical-align property is used in two scenarios: to
vertically align inline elements with respect to the line
box, and to vertically align the contents of table cells.

When vertically aligning inline elements within a line box,
the vertical-align property can be used with the keywords
top, middle, bottom, text-top, text-bottom.
