I was looking at some styles and I didn't know what the syntax of this font tag meant?

font: 13px/80px

Is this a min/max option for font size?

The 13px sets the font-size property. The 80px sets the line-height property.

Why not cite the completed CSS2.1 specification instead of the CSS3 draft? – Nightfirecat Nov 15 '11 at 06:32
Because google *site:w3.org css font* listed that first. – rob mayoff Nov 15 '11 at 06:36

@Nightfirecat: I'm going to have to blame it on everyone eagerly climbing aboard the HTML5/CSS3 bandwagon before they even reinforced its chassis. – BoltClock Nov 15 '11 at 06:37

No, its not min/max. 13px is the font size and 80px is the line height to be considered.
