Set body font-size to 62.5% for Easier em Conversion

/ Published in: CSS
Save to your folder(s)
If you would like to use relative units (em) for your font sizes, declaring 62.5% for the font-size property of the body will make it easier to convert px to em. By doing it this way, converting to em is a matter of dividing the px value by 10 (e.g. 24px = 2.4em).
