I'm curious about a behaviour I just ran across.. This is likely my own
fundamental lack of understanding about inline and block but take the
following text.
<span class="description">This is a lot of text that wraps a few times.
This is a lot of text that wraps a few times. This is a lot of text that
wraps a few times. This is a lot of text that wraps a few times. This is a
lot of text that wraps a few times. This is a lot of text that wraps a few
times. This is a lot of text that wraps a few times. This is a lot of text
that wraps a few times. This is a lot of text that wraps a few times. This
is a lot of text that wraps a few times. </span>
If I apply the following style to it:
.description {
padding-top: 100px;
font-size: 10px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
I get five different boxes...
Whereas if I apply the following style:
.description {
display: block;
padding-top: 100px;
font-size: 10px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
I get one block.
Now I get the block issue, but is it true that each "line" within a span is
treated as it's own "box"?
I think I'm starting to see why just by asking the question but I'd be
interested in your thoughts.
