I have a piece of code that compares the same line across multiple poems. It works fine, except for when the initial letter of the line appears in the manuscript original as a large capital, like this:
As you can see, when that happens the comparison gets all wonky. As far as I can tell, this is because the W is a span encapsulated inside of a div:
<div class="comparison" id="EETS.QD.1" style="display: block;">
<div class="compare_item" style="margin-left: 25px;">London, British Library Harley 2251:
<a style="text-decoration:none; color:#D5D5E5;" href="Quis_Dabit/British_Library_Harley_2251/British_Library_Harley_2251_f42v.html">
<span class="capital_2_blue">W</span>
ho shal gyve · vnto my hede a welle
</a>
</div>
</div>
with the style attributes generated via javascript because the comparison is generated onClick. The CSS I use to style both the divs and the span is as follows:
div.comparison {
display: block;
height: auto;
width: 755px;
margin-right: 10px;
padding-left: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
background-color: #454595;
border-width: 1px;
font-size: 12pt;
color: #EFFFFF;
display: none;
}
span.capital_2_blue{
float: left;
color: blue;
font-size: 60pt;
line-height: 12pt;
padding-top: 30px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
}
My question is this: how can I display each of the lines so that any oversized letters appear at the beginning of the actual line of text, as expected? This is what I'm shooting for:
I've been able to achieve it, sort of, by adding display:contents to the styling for my span, but that makes the W extend outside of the generated div on the page:
How would I go about styling these elements to achieve the look I'm hoping for, with the initials staying the height they're displayed in the text proper but not wrapping as they are currently? And how do I make sure the span plays nicely with its surrounding div? Thank you.
You should remove float:left and add display:inline-block to span.capital_2_blue.
That is because floated content removed from normal flow and other content will wrap around it.

I need to set margins between lines in one paragraph. How I can do this? I need to make something like this:
HTML:
<p>Any creative project is unique
and should be provided with
the appropriate quality</p>
I tried to put each line in <span> and set margin-bottom to it, but it not working.
Just wrap your whole text in a <span> tag and use line-height for margins and padding for spacing between text and background
Stack Snippet
p {
font: bold 30px Verdana;
}
span {
background: red;
line-height: 45px;
color: #fff;
padding: 3px;
}
<p><span>Any creative project is unique and should be provided with the appropriate quality</span></p>
If you want to use <span> with margin you need to set also display: inline-block; or display: block; to the <span>
p {
width: 200px;
}
p > span {
display: inline-block;
margin-bottom: 5px;
background-color: orange;
}
<p>
<span>Any creative project is unique</span>
<span>and should be provided with</span>
<span>the appropriate quality</span>
</p>
U can use <br> between each lines or just put a span with a height between each line, something like this:
<p>Any creative project is unique</p>
<span style="height: 10px;"></span><p>panand should be provided with</p>
Try using line-height property in your .css file referencing te element enclosing the text.
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>
<hr/>
<div class="passageBody2">
<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>
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;
}
Simple html formatting that I just can't seem to gt right.
I have the following div:
<div class="fc-event-time" data-hasqtip="true" aria-describedby="qtip-6">
2:54 - 6:54
<i class="icos-refresh" style="float: right; margin-top: -17px; margin-right: 2px"></i>
<i class="icos-acces-denied-sign" style="float: right; margin-top: -17px; margin-right: 2px"></i>
</div>
that according to firebug has the following css classes acting on it:
padding-left: 5px;
white-space: nowrap;
font-weight: 500;font-size: 12px !important;
padding: 0px 1px;
color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important;
cursor: pointer;
direction: ltr;
text-align: left
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
line-height: 18px;
Now the above code is rendering like below:
if you can see, there are two icons on top of one another, the <i></i> elements', my problem is that I would like to have it side by side. My first thought was to adddisplay:block;` but that doesn't work. how can I have them line up rather than superimposed?
UPDATE:
After taking out the margin-top: -17px; I get the following results, but I need them (the text and the icons) to be in the same row.
UPDATE 2:
Finally Figured out the problem and fixed this issue, it turned out to be the 2:54 - 6:54 plain text that was not allowing the <i>s to get in the same line. all I did was modify the Full Calendar source to place the time inside a <span> and gave it a style attribute of `float: left' and its all lined up and working now. Thank you all for helping, if a better answer is submitted (one that I don't need to modify the javascript I will still award it as an answer since that would be a better method.
As far as I can tell you don't have any widths applied to your i icons, plus the negative margin-tops could be playing havock with the floats. If you define actual widths for your i elements you shouldn't have a problem (at least based on what I can see).
If that doesn't work you may also have some kind of absolute positioning involved. If this is the case, and is applied to the i elements, then you'll need to remove it.
But without seeing the style applied to the i elements it's a bit impossible to tell.
update
Ah, ok so the negative top margin was causing the issue. In order to get your text and your icons to align on the same line you'll have to wrap the text with a span and apply a float:left to it.
<span style="display: block; float:left;">2:54 - 6:54</span>
<i class="icos-refresh" style="float: right; margin-right: 2px"></i>
<i class="icos-acces-denied-sign" style="float: right; margin-right: 2px"></i>
However I'd recommend that you not use inline styles and extract these to specific css classes.
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 am designing a website, with a quote on every page. I am applying CSS to this quote to make it look the best it can and stand out. However I am having a couple of issues.
.quote {
font-size: 18pt;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-bottom: 15px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 0.25;
}
.speech_mark_large {
color: #203D69;
font-size: 120px;
vertical-align: top;
}
<div class="quote">
<span class="speech_mark_large">“</span> Leading the way with innovative design of corrugated Point of Sale displays and packaging offering bespoke design to fulfill your brief.
<span class="speech_mark_large">”</span>
</div>
Also on JSFiddle.
I want the two lines of the quote to be closer together, but when I apply a line height, to solve this, it pushes the speech marks up into the previous line. How do I solve this?
You should set the line-height on the complete .quote element. Next you set vertical-align to top for the inner .speech_mark_large element. By changing the line-height of the .quote element you can tune the line spacing to what you think looks the best.
EDIT: I have added top and position to .speech_mark_large so you can change the vertical position of the quotes.
CSS
.quote {
font-size:18pt;
padding-top:15px;
padding-bottom:15px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 30px;
}
.speech_mark_large {
color:#203D69;
font-size:50pt;
vertical-align: top;
top: 5px;
position: relative;
}
See this updated JSFiddle
try this:
.speech_mark_large {
color:#203D69;
font-size:50pt;
line-height: 35px;
vertical-align:text-top;
}
line height will make them take up less space from the inline text height (which in-turn makes them float over your other text).
The vertical-align will fix this by telling the quotes to align themselves to the text's bottom, rather than normally.
