Is there a way to set min-line-height on inline element in CSS?
I have some inline links with icon showing on the left (padding + bacground), but when the font is too small, the image doesn't fit in line height and gets cropped on top and botto开发者_开发知识库m. Is there any way to prevent it from happening, without use of javascript? I don't want to set font size in px..
Some min-line-height set to non-relative value (image's height) would be ideal.
When dealing with inline elements inside block elements, you don't have a lot of options for changing the size of their bounding box. min-height
doesn't work on inline elements, and line-height
won't have any effect.
Setting an appropriate padding
might be a reasonable option, but you'll likely run into issues with the element's background overlapping other elements inside the containing block.
As a quick demo, try this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
<style type="text/css">
span {
background: #0F0;
padding: 0.5em 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is some demo text. Look at how <span>texty</span> it is.</p>
</body>
</html>
You'll see that the background of the texty
span expands vertically, but it'll overlap text on preceding and following lines. You could set the element's display
property to inline-block
in modern browsers to avoid this issue, but then you'll have inconsistent line spacing, which would almost certainly be distracting if it's inside a block of text.
I think your best option, like it or not, is simply to ensure that the image you'd like to apply to your links fits the text you'll be displaying.
You can use min() or max() to create minimum/maximum values on most css properties.
Here is an example that sets the line-height at 10vh or 100px. Whichever one is smallest will be used in the browser. If you use max() it will select whichever property is largest.
line-height: min(10vh, 100px);
// or //
line-height: max(10vh, 100px);
See min() and max().
you may be able to use display:inline-block
to allow the min-height as inline tags are a little restricted
