Adding vertical space below a element in a table












0















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.



enter image description here



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 add position: relative; top: -1px; to your code.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><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr>

    @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, the position: 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)
