Adding vertical space below a element in a table
I have some fixed-width content I would like to put in a table header cell
with a little bubble around it to distinguish from non-fixed-width text.
The example below looks great except the bubble bottom covers up the cell border.
I would like to fix by moving the text up by 1, can't seem to figure it out; in effect, I think I want the baseline of the code.literal
text to be 1-2px higher than the normal <th>
baseline.
Is there a way to do this?
code.literal {
background: #f5f5f5;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 1px 3px;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: Consolas,Menlo,"Liberation Mono",Courier,monospace;
}
th, td {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
.small {
font-size: 75%;
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table td, table th {
border: 1px solid black;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-top: 0;
}
<table>
<tr><th>Aluminum <code class="literal small">foo.bar.baz.quux</code></th>
<th>Barium <code class="literal small">jabberwocky</code></th>
</tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr>
</table>

If you addposition: relative; top: -1px;
to yourcode.literal
rule it will jump up 1px

If you add a display: inline-block;
to your code.literal
, the table will contain the element as a block level item instead. Which I think is what you are going for here.
code.literal {
background: #f5f5f5;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 1px 3px;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: Consolas,Menlo,"Liberation Mono",Courier,monospace;
display: inline-block;
}
th, td {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
.small {
font-size: 75%;
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table td, table th {
border: 1px solid black;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-top: 0;
}
<table>
<tr><th>Aluminum <code class="literal small">foo.bar.baz.quux</code></th>
<th>Barium <code class="literal small">jabberwocky</code></th>
</tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr>
</table>
thanks, that looks nice!

@JasonS This is probably the better way to go, though it will keep both text at the same baseline, and if you still think you want the code.literal higher, theposition: relative
I suggested will solve that.
– LGSon
Nov 16 '18 at 21:56
@JasonS worth to note that the issue here is the use of padding that is not considered when the element is inline by default, adding inline-block will make this padding to be considered and the element will remain an inline level element (not a block level one)
