The image inside the div has extra space below the image

Question

Why is the height of div in the following code greater than the height of img? There is a gap below the image, but it doesn't seem to be padding/margin.

What is the gap or extra space below the image?

#wrapper {
  border: 1px solid red;
  width:200px;
}
img {
  width:200px;
}

<div id="wrapper">
  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/RECDV24.jpg" />
</div>

Answer 1

Another option suggested in this Blog post is styling the image to style="display: block;"

Answer 2

By default, the image is rendered inline, just like the letters, so it's on the same line as a, b, c, and d.

There is a space below this line for the letters g, j, p and q.

you can:

• Adjust vertical-align of the image Place it somewhere else (e.g. middle) or
• Change display so that it is no longer inline.

div {
  border: solid black 1px;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

#align-middle img {
  vertical-align: middle;
}

#align-base img {
  vertical-align: bottom;
}

#display img {
  display: block;
}

<div id="default">
