||
**Baseline** identifies widely-supported web platform features. | ||
Web developers can expect Baseline features to work in contemporary browsers. | ||
|
||
A Baseline feature - such as an API, a set of CSS properties, or a JavaScript syntax - is known to work consistently in the current and previous major versions of several well-known browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari). | ||
|
||
## Badges | ||
|
||
<!-- TODO: Show Baseline indicator itself, once it has been merged --> | ||
🟢 If you see the green Baseline badge, then you can trust that the feature will work in the browsers' latest and previous major releases. | ||
|
||
<!-- TODO: Show the non-Baseline indicator itself, once it has been merged --> | ||
🟡 If you see a yellow badge showing that a feature is not yet Baseline, then do more research and testing with your site's users before relying on that feature, or wait for it to become Baseline. | ||
|
||
## Extra considerations | ||
|
||
Baseline is a summary guide to support and doesn't cover every situation. | ||
If your site needs to work with a browser's long-term support release, an older device or browser release, or a browser not covered by the Baseline report, then you may need to do your own research or testing. | ||
If Baseline doesn't cover your situation, then consider reading browser compatibility tables on MDN or visiting [caniuse.com](https://caniuse.com/) before committing to a feature. | ||
|
||
## Contributing | ||
|
||
Baseline is a community effort of the W3C WebDX Community Group and relies on MDN's open source browser compatibility data. | ||
If you have questions, feedback, or want to help update and expand the features covered by Baseline status reports, then go to [web-platform-dx/feature-set](https://github.com/web-platform-dx/feature-set) to participate. | ||

The **baseline** is a term used in European and West Asian typography meaning an imaginary line upon which the characters of a font rest. | ||
The term **baseline** can have several meanings depending on the context. It may refer to: | ||
|
||
The descenders of characters like g and p extend below this line. {{Glossary("glyph", "Glyphs")}} with rounded lower and upper extents like C or 3 slightly extend below it. | ||
|
||
East Asian scripts have no baseline. Their glyphs are placed in a square box without ascenders or descenders. | ||
