How to Insert a Line Break in Span Using Css? [Closed]

Question

Now I want to break the line on Q1 and move this Q1 next to Summary. Is there a way to do it? Following is the CSS for the button.

span {
    display: inline-block;
    font-size: 80%;
    line-height: normal;
    width: 100%;
    line-height: 2rem;
    border: 1px solid #019ed5;
    border-radius: 25px;
    cursor: pointer;
}

Accepted Answer

Try adding:

display: inline-block;

Note: it may change the behavior a bit.

in the html:

<span>JAN-MAR <br /> Q1 Summary</span>

You may also use js, for a more dynamic approach:

<span class="q-span">JAN-MAR Q1 Summary</span>

and you can use jQuery to do it:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".q_header").each(function(){
        // Get content
        var 
            content = $(this).text(),
        // get first word
            first_w = content.match(/([\w\-]+)/);

        // replace the first word with first word and break
        var new_cnt = content.replace(first_w[0], first_w[0] + "</br>");

        // add the css to make it inline-block
        $(this).css("display", "inline-block").html(new_cnt);

    });

});

Answer 2

Use

display:block;

OR
span is an inline element, as such styling attributes such as width or margin don't work. You can fix that by either changing the span to a block element (such as div), or by using padding instead.
