I have a large HTML document with the background being converted to PDF (using wkhtmltopdf).
Sometimes page break happens in middle of the text block, and last line before page break is too close to the bottom of page. (text blocks have already with page-break: avoid, and spacing between blocks is large enough to keep the block away from the bottom of page)
Is there a possibility to add margin / padding to last line before page break?
Seems like page-break-inside: avoid might be the source of the problem. According to MDN, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/page-break-inside, it probably causes the text blocks ignore page's margins.
Maybe you could manually place page-break-after: always somewhere in your HTML code so as to achieve the needed formatting. Another thing to try is maybe display: inline-block with the container having white-space: nowrap and the text block having white-space: normal. (Just a hypothesis, though, seems like some experimentation is needed.)

If I have a container with some text in it, is there a way to break the line in half, rather than based on some fixed width?
For example, I would normally assign a width (say, 200px) to a container before placing some text in it. Often this can lead to an awkward line break where only the last word in a header must wrap.
This is a header that is
long
versus
This is a header
that is long
Ideally it would only break if the text didn't fit on one line, and if it broke, it would do so in an even way. Would be happy with just always breaking in half as well, though, since that seems pretty complex for CSS to do alone.
Unfortunately, this is not possible in pure CSS. This this jQuery plugin automatically breaks your line of text nicely in 2 when the container is smaller than the text width:

This is a very basic html-css query that I often encounter. Most times, I find the solution some way or the other, but am interested to know the reason of this unexpected behavior(as per me) of UI.
Please have a look at this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/2yaRU/
<div > //float left
Sometext <span> text<.span>//float:right
<div>
the right floated text moves to the next line though there is a lot of width available in my line. Ideally as per me, the text should appear side by side with float:left as left side, and float:right at right side within the div.
This cant be a complex issue, so is there something very common I do not get here?
Put the floated item first. The floats are nested inside of each-other, so they won't affect each-other. Floating an element automatically changes it display:block;
I think there's a couple things going on. Since the wrap is float:left, it switches to a block formatting context. It looks like the issue is that the whitespace that comes after the text (just before the nested float) is considered to be trailing since there is nothing is in the flow after it. So the width of the parent does not take into account the space, even though it does take up space when the layout is rendered as you can see in the html.
Removing the trailing space brings the X back onto the same line as the text.

If you want a space after the text, you should add a non-breaking space ( ) to the html instead.

i'm making a new site where the headings have backgrounds around them and a little padding.
This is a responsive site, so in some states the headings will break into multiple lines, resulting in them losing the padding to the right on the first line, and to the left on the second line. I am using display:inline since the padding needs to be adjusted around each line.
Is there any way to keep the padding when breaking lines?
Example:
http://jsfiddle.net/gmW5X/
The padding is missing after introducing and before the ...
This does not need to scale down to old ie since the problem only appears at the mobile css targeted to primarely iphone. However, i'd very much like not to alter too much html :/
I don't see another solution but wrap each word in span... http://jsfiddle.net/gmW5X/4
display: inline-block;
do the trick.
jsFiddle
I have a <a> element as inline block with a fixed width. I would like to show the <a> boxes next to each other, two boxes per row (exactly like in the first example). BUT if each box element is in a new line in the source code (second example), the boxes gain an invisible margin, which you can see if you have a look at the example with e.g. the Chrome dev tools. The width and padding of the parent wrapper, and the margin of each box is exactly calculated, so that the added invisible margin pushes the second box down into the next row.
I could just use the code of the first example (all the elements without line breaks directly behind each other), but I would like to know how can I remove this invisible margin so that the two boxes again fit next to each other in the wrapper div (like in the first example), even if each <a> element is in a new line in the source code.
Examples:
1.) Without line break in code (the layout I want to have): http://jsfiddle.net/mLa93/2/
2.) With line break in code (added line breaks after <a> element changes layout): http://jsfiddle.net/mLa93/3/
As fcalderan suggested white-space:nowrap on the parent should work. See http://jsfiddle.net/kkpKg/ for an example. If it doesn't, then you must be doing something different or wrong.
Ok, now I get it :-)
The best solution is to leave out the line breaks, however if you don't want that, the next best would be to comment them out:
<div id="wrap">
box 1<!--
-->box 2<!--
-->box 3
</div>
If that isn't a possibility the only thing that I can think of (and is supported by current browsers) is to set the line-height font-size in #wrap to zero and back to original size in the links:
#wrap {
font-size: 0;
}
#wrap a {
font-size: 14px;
}

I didn't realize this question was from a year ago!
Since you've spent so long trying to figure this out, I did some researching and found a similar question. I've adjusted your code here
solution
and it should work now.I placed 5 blocks because of the float case you mentioned before
EDIT: the problem was your margins. You have a 10px padding and 10px margins. If you had made your div 230px (3x10px + 2x100px) you would have gotten the same effect as the first fiddle.
try to use white-space:nowrap on parent element (the container of your links) and probably white-space: normal on links
Please have a look at this page www.pixeli.ca/issue.
I have begun making a page layout using CSS framework 960.gs. My problem is that there is some strange space appears between block with top image and blue block with "hello" string. So you can see a green stripe there that shouldn't be visible at all. I tried different variants and have no idea what's wrong with it. I noticed that it happens only with the block with images inside them, but if there is only text, no space happens.
Thanks.
Simply adding float:left to the image fixes it.
<img src="imagetop.png" style="float: left;"/>
Not quite sure why or if there's a slightly more accurate method but hey, there you are.
Actually: why don't you set a background-image and height on the container. That would be a much cleaner way of doing things.
what i do at the beginning of each css sheet is adding this
*{
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
this removes all default spaces, might help.
The image is inline and is treated as text - so it gets aligned to baseline which adds a bit of space under it as a normal line would do.
set image to display:block and it should work.
