Positioning text and image as centered horizontally using position: relative - html

Question

I was wondering how I can position the text centered horizontally. Centered horizontally with the image. I do not want to use the position: absolute attribute. This is because the length of the right and left text can change and to have an absolute attribute, you need a fixed width/size.
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.right-text {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 13px;
}
.icon {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
background: url("https://i.imgur.com/VXlnn8a.png");
}
.left-text {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: 700;
}
<div class="right-text">Right</div><div class="icon"></div><div class="left-text">Left</div>

Answer 1

You can use flexbox to align items horizontally center by adding below code to the parent div
.parent{
display:flex;
align-items: center;
}
This is the running Snippet of your code having this changes
body{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-family: arial;
}
.content{
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.right-text {
font-size: 13px;
}
.icon {
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
background: url("https://i.imgur.com/VXlnn8a.png");
}
.left-text {
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: 700;
}
<div class="content">
<div class="right-text">Right</div>
<div class="icon"></div>
<div class="left-text">Left</div>
</div>

Answer 2

You can just simply add a flexbox container and set its property align-items to center.
<div class="container">
<div class="right-text">Right</div>
<div class="icon"></div>
<div class="left-text">Left</div>
</div>
And this is the class container:
.container{
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}

Hi If you want vertical align here is the updated snippet
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.right-text {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 13px;
}
.icon {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
background: url("https://i.imgur.com/VXlnn8a.png");
top: 10px;
margin: 0 5px;
}
.left-text {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: 700;
}
<div class="right-text">Right</div><div class="icon"></div><div class="left-text">Left</div>

Answer 4

You actually need to wrap your right-text, icon and left-text element in childContainer and then wrap your childContainer element in parentContainer wrap.
<div class="parentContainer">
<div class="childContainer">
<div class="right-text">Right</div><div class="icon"></div><div class="left-text">Left</div>
</div>
</div>
Next, you have to apply FlexBox with center justify-content and align-items value and you also need to add height: 100vh. Mentioned changes are applied on a below code snippet. Try this I hope it'll help you out. Thanks
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.right-text {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 13px;
}
.icon {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
background: url("https://i.imgur.com/VXlnn8a.png");
}
.left-text {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: 700;
}
.parentContainer {
display: flex;
height: 100vh;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
<div class="parentContainer">
<div class="childContainer">
<div class="right-text">Right</div><div class="icon"></div><div class="left-text">Left</div>
</div>
</div>
