Line break between inline elements

Question

In the below code, I need to place a tag in new line and maintain the center alignment. I cannot change the html. display:block makes the more clickable area outside the text.

Below is the screenshot for required result

div{
  background: #333;
  color: #fff;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px;
  text-align: center;
  width: 400px;
}
a{
  color: red;
  display: inline-block;
  clear: both;
}

<div>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. <a href="">This is link in new line</a> Cumque mollitia repellat soluta voluptates molestias veniam reiciendis.
</div>

Answer 1

Add display:block to a

div{
  background: #333;
  color: #fff;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px;
  text-align: center;
  width: 400px;
}
a{
  color: red;
  display: block;
}

<div>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. <a href="">This is link in new line</a> Cumque mollitia repellat soluta voluptates molestias veniam reiciendis.
</div>

To remove the extra clickable area

div {
  background: #333;
  color: #fff;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px;
  text-align: center;
  width: 400px;
}
a {
  color: red;
  display: inline;
}
a:after {
  content: "\a";
 white-space: pre;
}
a:before {
  content: "\a";
 white-space: pre;
}

<div>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. <a href="">This is link in new line</a> Cumque mollitia repellat soluta voluptates molestias veniam reiciendis.
</div>
