The CSS padding properties are used to generate space around an element's content, inside of any defined borders. With CSS, you have full control over the padding. There are properties for setting the padding for each side of an element (top, right, bottom, and left).
Creating extra spaces before or after text To create extra spaces before, after, or in-between your text, use the (non-breaking space) extended HTML character.
A good way to do it is this:
span + span {
margin-left: 10px;
}
Every span
preceded by a span
(so, every span
except the first) will have margin-left: 10px
.
Here's a more detailed answer to a similar question: Separators between elements without hacks
Just use margin or padding.
In your specific case, you could use margin:0 10px
only on the 2nd <span>
.
UPDATE
Here's a nice CSS3 solution (jsFiddle):
span {
margin: 0 10px;
}
span:first-of-type {
margin-left: 0;
}
span:last-of-type {
margin-right: 0;
}
Advanced element selection using selectors like :nth-child()
, :last-child
, :first-of-type
, etc. is supported since Internet Explorer 9.
add these rules to the parent container:
display: grid
grid-auto-flow: column
grid-column-gap: 10px

You can style elements with excluding first one, just in one line of code:
span ~ span {
padding-left: 10px;
}
No need to change any classes.
You can take advantage of the fact that span
is an inline element
span{
word-spacing:10px;
}
However, this solution will break if you have more than one word of text in your span
