boxescolorheight
I'm trying to "highlight" two parts of a sentence by using a \colorbox like so:
\colorbox{red}{This is} \colorbox{blue}{a great sentence.}
The problem is that in the second part the height colorbox is a bit bigger, because it contains a g which extends below the baseline. As a result, the two colorboxes do not align at the bottom which looks suboptimal.
How would I make the two boxes line up?
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}[t][1in][t]{2in}\vspace{0pt}
\rule{\linewidth}{0.5pt}\\
\Huge First line box 1\\
\footnotesize Second line box 1
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t][1in][t]{2in}\vspace{0pt}
\footnotesize\raggedleft
\rule{\linewidth}{0.5pt}\\
First line box 2\\
Second line box 2 \par
\end{minipage}
\end{document}

You can use a
\strutLaTeX/TEX define
\strutto be an invisible box of width zero that extends just enough above and below the baseline.
