When the element to be centered is an inline element we use text-align center on its parent. When the element is a block level element we give it a width and set the left and right margins to a value of auto. With text-align: center in mind, most people look first to vertical-align in order to center things vertically.
To align things in the inline direction, use the properties which begin with justify- . Use justify-content to distribute space between grid tracks, and justify-items or justify-self to align items inside their grid area in the inline direction.
1 Select the text you want to center between the top and bottom margins. 2 On the Page Layout tab, click the Page Setup Dialog Box Launcher. 3 Select the Layout tab. 4 In the Vertical alignment box, click Center 5 In the Apply to box, click Selected text, and then click OK.
code {
background: black;
color: white;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}<p>Some text <code>A<br />B<br />C<br />D</code> continues afterward.</p>Tested and works in Safari 5 and IE6+.
display: inline-block is your friend you just need all three parts of the construct - before, the "block", after - to be one, then you can vertically align them all to the middle:
(it looks like your picture anyway ;))
CSS:
p, div {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
p, div {
display: inline !ie7; /* hack for IE7 and below */
}
table {
background: #000;
color: #fff;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold; margin: 0 10px;
}
td {
padding: 5px;
text-align: center;
}
HTML:
<p>some text</p>
<div>
<table summary="">
<tr><td>A</td></tr>
<tr><td>B</td></tr>
<tr><td>C</td></tr>
<tr><td>D</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>continues afterwards</p>
