How to make the background of my text larger? - html

Question

I display some text but not all of the text is shown so I want to make the background larger so that all the text displays. Right now the lower part of the "g" is outside the clipping area:
My HTML is
<h2><strong>{% trans %}Why Bnano is{% endtrans %}</strong><span>{% trans %}RIGHT FOR YOU{% endtrans %}</span></h2>
And my CSS is
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, caption, hr, button {margin:0; padding:0; border:0; outline:0; font-size:100%; vertical-align: baseline; background:none;}
table, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {padding:4px;vertical-align:top;}
ol, ul {list-style:none;}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, li {line-height:100%;}
blockquote, q {quotes:none;}
q:before,
q:after {content: '';}
table {border-collapse:collapse; border-spacing:0;}

Can you tell me how I increase the drawing area?
Thanks

Answer 1

Try to increase the line-height of your <h2>!

Answer 2

Like Jannis M said, it is quite dirty... maybe you can show us more of the html, so it would be easier to understand and to help...

Answer 3

You can add /increase padding to your <h2>.

Answer 4

The issue cannot be observed using the code posted. Instead of a short fragment of server-side code, you should post the actual HTML code, which is probably something like
<h2><strong>Varför Bnano är</strong><span>rätt för dig</span></h2>
presumably inside an element with id=onecolumn. But what else? Even in this setting, the rendering is different.
In any case, the issue is most probably caused by setting an unsuitable line-height value on an element. For fonts like Lucida Sans Unicode and Lucida Grande, the value should be around 1.3 or a little larger – now one of the CSS rules sets the value to 100%, which means the font size of the parent element, and this is surely too little for h2.

Answer 5

The text is cut because you have set the parent container size and set overflow: hidden; Inspect the dom and see what's the parent's element height; You have not given the full html so i can tell you where is the exact problem.
Start with:
onecolumn
