i currently have a problem with line breaks in my header element. The headline shouldn't wrap into the image, but I also don't want it to wrap without a hyphen. I don't want the copy editors to make the word-breaks themselves with html. I would like to have an overall solution built with css.
Here is a codepen of my code
I already tried these:
line-break: anywhere;
line-break: normal;
line-break: loose;
line-break: strict;
word-break: break-all;
word-wrap: break-word;
Thank you so much in advance! :-)
so as there is sadly no way to implement the automatic CSS hyphenisation when you want your Site to be used with Chrome Browsers, i recommend using viewports to change the Font-Size or make the Font-Size somewhat responsive.
Easy solution with responsive Font-Size (it's a workaround that is a bit weird in my eyes but it does keep the Text in the same format):
HTML:
<!--Set the breakpoint in html-->
<h1>
<span class="line">You are</span>
<span class="line">remembered</span>
</h1>
CSS:
/*add css for the intended break*/
.line{
display: inline-block;
margin-bottom: 0.3vw;
}
h1 {
font-family: "Space Grotesk", sans-serif;
color: $color-highlight;
margin-bottom: 0;
/*Set a responsive Font-Size*/
font-size: 6vw;
line-height: 80px;
}
For the viewport solution just check a basic tutorial for responsive design like THIS
There you can define the behavior depending on the screen size.

I have an issue while using custom font(poppins-regular.ttf). The issue is when I set background-color for span tag which is wrapper of text.
The words like g,y,.. etc got cut at the bottom. But, If I change the font-family from poppinsRegular to tahoma it looks good.
But the real issue here is i need to maintain same line-height
.passageBody, .passageBody2 {
width: 414px;
padding: 10px 0;
margin: 0px;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 32px;
font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
}
.passageBody2 {
font-family: tahoma;
}
.highlightPhrase {
background-color: yellow;
}
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Poppins" rel="stylesheet">
<div class="passageBody">
<span>“Good-bye to you and your funny feet.</span>
<span class="highlightPhrase">Thanks for all the eggs to eat!” I was speaking to Bess, our chicken, and Mother laughed.</span>
</div>

<div class="passageBody2">
<span>“Good-bye to you and your funny feet.</span>

</div>
Example jsFiddle link here...
You can either remove the line-height property or try to set it in em units.
line-height: 1.5em;
Edit 1
If you don't want to change line-height, use vertical align with inline display
.highlightPhrase {
background-color: yellow;
display: inline;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
}
Edit 2
The above code might have visually changed the line height. So this example might be an elegant solution to your problem. Just wrap the content in another element and set the position to relative, so that background of each line will not hide the above line.
.highlightPhrase span {
position:relative;
}
or you can use some small image as background and repeat it to highlight entire text.
Problem here is the vertical placement of the glyphs.
Designer decided to set the font glyphs like that.
So, basically designer decided how much space there is below the baseline, and how much space is above the height of uppercase letters. Typically these spaces are equal, but they don't need to be.
I think that only solution for you is to put bigger line-height on the paragraph that is using that font or just choose a different font.
Change:
line-height: 32px; to line-height: auto;
Try this
.highlightPhrase {
padding:5px;
}
I want to show text file in browser with line-break. This is my code:
.readable {
font-size:16px;
line-height:32px;
font-family: league-gothic,sans-serif;
text-align:left;
word-break: break-word;
white-space: pre-line;
padding: 20px;
}
With word-break and white-space attribute, it can show break-line normally. However I want to stretch paragraph's line-height property. Example replacing \n with \n\n.
I dont want use javascript. Is there anyway that just use css only ?
Any help will be appreciated.
You can use :first-line attribute to increase the space between paragraphs. For example:
.readable::first-line {
line-height: 300%;
}
I have a heading (<h1>) that has a sort of tagline below it. (I used a <small> tag and set font-size to a certain percent so it lines up perfectly when I change font-size of the heading for smaller screens. I'm using em units, if that matters.)
At first, the <small> tag sat nicely underneath the main heading, but I realized I forgot the HTML5 DOCTYPE declaration. So, after I discovered this omission and corrected it, the spacing was all wrong.
Here's my code:
HTML:
<h1 class="banner">Justin Wilson<br /><small>WEB + GRAPHIC DESIGNER</small></h1>
CSS:
h1.banner {
text-align: center;
display: block;
font-family: 'arvil';
font-size: 6.5em;
color: #94babd; }
h1.banner > small {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 27%;
color: #888;
letter-spacing: 1px;
font-weight: 100; }
And here's the before and after:
I have searched through StackOverflow, but I'm not sure how to proceed. I've read that a <br /> tag simply line breaks, but it inherits the line-spacing, and line-spacing: (value) does not work, nor do margins or padding.
What I need is a simple, cross-browser solution. I used Chrome for the screenshot. Support for IE6-7 is not needed, though support for IE8 would be nice.
The problem is caused by the default line height for the heading element. The default depends on the browser and on the font, but it tends to be about 1.1 to 1.3 times the font size. In any case, with a very large font size set, this creates a problem, because the line height value also sets the height of the second line. By CSS specifications, for a block element, line-height sets the minimum height of line boxes.
There are various ways around this. Setting display: block on the small element is one way, since then its default line height will be determined according to its own font size. Another way is to set a line height that is considerably smaller than the font size, e.g.
h1.banner { line-height: 0.5; }
You need to control the line-height css property (see W3 Schools) to make sure all browsers set the same height for each line.
It's actually advisable to do this to pretty much all elements containing text, which is why most people use CSS resets for production, which sets a default line-height across all elements.
In this case, the <span> and <h1> will likely have different line heights.
I'm sure the <br /> tag is doing nothing wrong, unless you've altered its properties with CSS which I would not advise.
There's also a shorthand version in case you're setting other font properties for the same element(s):
font: <font weight> <font size>/<line height> <font face>;
For example:
font: bold 12px/18px sans-serif;
Hope this helps.
Drop the <br /> and set the display of the <small> element to block.
http://cssdeck.com/labs/uoqfo4xw
<h1 class="banner">Justin Wilson <small>WEB + GRAPHIC DESIGNER</small></h1>
h1.banner {
text-align: center;
display: block;
font-family: 'arvil';
font-size: 6.5em;
color: #94babd; }
h1.banner > small {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 27%;
color: #888;
letter-spacing: 1px;
font-weight: 100;
display: block; }
An alternative is to set the span to display: block; and then adjust the line-height of the <h2> tag.
I would do this, instead of using a <br /> tag.
Ultimately the answer that works as the best solution is found here (3rd example):
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/common-idioms.html#sub-head
#cimmanon posted a very helpful solution, but to be safe, I'll stick with what Steve Faulkner said about this being a more semantic and SEO-friendly solution over using an <h1> tag and <h2> tag for a subheading, or inline elements inside a heading tag, regardless of styling.
Here's the solution:
HTML:
<header>
<h1 class="banner">Justin Wilson</h1>
<p>WEB + GRAPHIC DESIGNER</p>
</header>
CSS:
h1.banner {
text-align: center;
display: block;
font-family: 'arvil';
font-size: 6.5em;
color: #94babd;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 1em 0 0 0;/*purely for display purposes, really*/ }
header > p {font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 1.75em;
color: #888;
letter-spacing: 1px;
font-weight: 100;
text-align: center;
margin:0; }
And the live demo (might not look good to you without the free Arvil font, from Lost Fonts).

Change <small> to <p> in HTML and CSS and add line to the h1.banner > p
margin: 0 auto;

I've got some words like WORD and REALLYLONGWORD. Both have light font and I want them to become bold on mouse over. Both have float: left; width: auto;. I can't give them fixed width.
The problem is when I hover WORD, the REALLYLONGWORD jumps to the right because WORD gets bolder font (and larger width value). Is there any CSS-only workaround to that?
EDIT (I can't answer my own question, so I'm posting answer below):
I found some CSS-only solution. HTML:
<div class="thtitled-thtitle"><div class="thtitles-title">WORD</div><div class="thtitles-titlebold">WORD</div></div>
<div class="thtitled-thtitle"><div class="thtitles-title">REALLYLONGWORD</div><div class="thtitles-titlebold">REALLYLONGWORD</div></div>
CSS:
.thtitled-thtitle { float: left; }
.thtitles-titlebold { visibility: hidden; color: #F5F5F5; cursor: pointer; float: left; font-family: 'BOLDFONT',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 72px; line-height: 96px; min-height: 100px; text-transform: uppercase; width: auto; word-wrap: break-word; }
.thtitles-title { color: #F5F5F5; cursor: pointer; font-family: 'LIGHTFONT',Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 72px; line-height: 96px; min-height: 100px; text-transform: uppercase; width: auto; word-wrap: break-word; position: absolute; }
.thtitles-title:hover { font-family: 'BOLDFONT',Arial,sans-serif; }
Basically, I create one more hidden container with BOLD font (its width is main width) and put LIGHT font inside. After hover it still has width of BOLD word so there is no jumping.
You do not want to add any width to fonts at all, I suggest you delete the width property competely. (I also hope you noticed the writing error in your css, with should be width)
The next thing is assign a class to the the ahref this can be easily done with SPAN tags
once done in the css just do:
.firstlinkclass{
font-weight: bold;
}
Use letter spacing. For example {letter-spacing:0.04em}
If you style your WORD with enough letter spacing to make it the same overall width as the same word when it is bold, and remove the letter spacing when it is bold, everything else will stay put.
It works - try this (this just demos the concept - not what I'm recommending for production):
<b>Rotterdam</b><br>
<span style="letter-spacing:0.04em">Rotterdam</span><br/>
<b>and</b><br>
<span style="letter-spacing:0.04em">and</span><br/>
<b>Oslo</b><br>
<span style="letter-spacing:0.04em">Oslo</span><br/>
<b>letter</b><br>
<span style="letter-spacing:0.04em">letter</span><br/>
I know this was asked a long long time ago, but I just came up with a solution to fix the jump that works well so I thought I'd share.
Instead of making the font bold on hover, make it have a text-shadow. No jump, same effect, one line of CSS.
I have some dynamic titles where the design requires each word to be on their own line. Here is the desired look:
http://jsfiddle.net/alanweibel/2LEmF/2/ (note the black backgrounds for each word)
The problem I need help with is keeping the style above while having the whole title inside of one tag. I cannot dynamically insert H1's before and after each word.
I need to change the HTML markup from
<div class="tagline">
<h1>
Oh
</h1>
<h1>
Look
</h1>
<h1>
A
</h1>
<h1>
Headline
</h1>
<h1>
Thanks
</h1>
</div>
to something similar to
<div class="tagline">
<h1>
Oh Look A Headline Thanks
</h1>
</div>
while keeping the same style as in the link above.
Thanks in advance.
See: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/HksP2/
It looks perfect in IE9, IE8 and recent versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera; all on Windows 7. It degrades reasonably well in IE7. In Safari on Mac, it's almost perfect.
This is based off a previous answer. Quoting myself from that answer:
Note that the line-height and padding adjustments can be very
tricky to get right.
line-height: 1.83; looks good, and was found by picking something that looked close to what you wanted, then using trial and error to find something that works in both Chrome and Firefox (they render text differently).
HTML:
<div class="tagline">
<h1><span>
Oh Look A Headline Thanks
</span></h1>
</div>
CSS:
.tagline {
display: inline-block;
width: 0;
line-height: 1.83;
padding: 1px 0;
border-left: 20px solid #000;
}
.tagline h1 {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #fff;
background: #000;
display: inline;
padding: 8px 0;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.tagline span {
position: relative;
left: -10px;
}
Your only option for doing this, that I'm aware of, is to write some javascript that will take your <h1>oh look ..</h1> stuff and split it out into separate h1 tags.
update:
I just thought of a way: http://jsfiddle.net/2LEmF/10/
Basically, you need to move your background color up to the main div. Then set the width on your h1 to something that is going to force the text to break along normal text breaking rules. Something like 10px.
I'm not sure what this is going to do on a number of browsers as you are essentially giving a size that is way to small to your H1... but it might be just what you are looking for.
Here's a simple example of how to get one line per word:
https://jsfiddle.net/xaq5ttf2/5/
HTML:
<div class="tagline">
<h1>
Oh Look A Headline Thanks
</h1>
</div>
CSS:
.tagline h1 {
display: inline-block;
word-spacing: 100vw;
}
You can set the width of the h1 to less than that of the smallest word e.g. 10px.
It produces exactly the same result as your example (at least on Chrome and Firefox).
Jsfiddle here.
You could search and replace spaces with <br /> to get this look:
http://jsfiddle.net/WwbUL/
I'm not sure I understand the problem. It seems that you're stuck with the HTML as posted in your question, but you want it to display in-line?
What about just adding display:inline; to .tagline ?
http://jsfiddle.net/XmCLd/
Or is it the other way around? That you have normal-looking HTML, but you need to split your lines at the spaces?
http://jsfiddle.net/GQ44u/
Make the tagline div really thin and make it block instead of inline. Then make the h1 inline.
.tagline
{
width: 1px;
margin:5px;
display: block;
}
.tagline h1
{
color:#fff;
background: #000;
padding: 4px 10px;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 30px;
text-transform:uppercase;
display: inline;
}
