is there a way to align first line of multiple headings of various size to the same baseline? Also regardless to the text that follows, which should be aligned as well.

It seems to me the only solution is to put each heading and each body text into separate DIV and then with headings to play with padding-top or margin-top to align them (e.g. H1 would be 36px with 0px margin, while H3 would be 24px with 12px top margin). Something like this:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
div {
width: 240px;
float: left;
}
h1 {
font-size: 36px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
h3 {
font-size: 24px;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px 0 0 0; /*for some reason I must use 10px instead of 12px to align. Why??*/
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<h1>H1 heading</h1>
</div>
<div>
<h3>H3 heading</h3>
</div>
<div>
<h3>H3 heading that is somewhat longer and spans multiple lines</h3>
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<div>
<p>There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.</p>

But this is not very nice solution. Is there something better, please?
Thank you very much!
