How to vertically center text next to image? [duplicate]

Question

I have the following code and I want to center the text vertically next to the image.

.section_content {
    width: 400px;
}

.section_content > ul > li > img {
    width: 40px;
    height: 40px;
    padding: 5px;
}

.section_content > ul > li > a {
    vertical-align: top;
}

.section_content > ul > li {
    list-style-type: none;
}

.section_content > ul {
    list-style-type: none;

    padding-top: 45px;
    padding-left: 5px;
}

<div class="section_content">
        <ul>
            <li><img src="img/linkedin.svg"><a href="https://be.linkedin.com/in/lel">LinkedIn</a></li>
            <li>GitHUb</li>
        </ul>
    </div>

Answer 1

You've got vertical-align: top in there; what you want is vertical-align: middle, on both the link and the image it's supposed to sit next to.

.section_content {
    width: 400px;
}

.section_content > ul > li > img {
    width: 40px;
    height: 40px;
    padding: 5px;
}

.section_content > ul > li > a,
.section_content > ul > li img {
    vertical-align: middle;
}

.section_content > ul > li {
    list-style-type: none;
}

.section_content > ul {
    list-style-type: none;

    padding-top: 45px;
    padding-left: 5px;
}

<div class="section_content">
        <ul>
            <li><img src="img/linkedin.svg"><a href="https://be.linkedin.com/in/lel">LinkedIn</a></li>
            <li>GitHUb</li>
        </ul>
    </div>
