Use the CSS line-height property Add the line-height property to the element containing a text larger than its font size. By default, equal spaces will be added above and below the text, and you'll get a vertically centered text.
To align two <div> elements vertically in Bootstrap 3, you can try using the CSS Flexible Box Layout. In the example below, we display the needed row as a flex container box with the CSS display property and then, align the flex-items (columns) vertically with the align-items property.
It sets the vertical alignment of an the entire webpage. Answer: It sets the vertical alignment of an element.
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.
Answered my own question after reading your advice on the vertical-align CSS attribute. Thanks for the tip!
.pdf:before {
padding: 0 5px 0 0;
content: url(../img/icon/pdf_small.png);
vertical-align: -50%;
}
I'm no CSS expert, but what happens if you put vertical-align: middle; into your .pdf:before directive?
You can also use tables to accomplish this, like:
.pdf {
display: table;
}
.pdf:before {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}

EDIT: You can also use flex to accomplish this:
.pdf {
display: flex;
}
.pdf:before {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}

I think a cleaner approach is to inherit the vertical alignment:
In html:
<div class="shortcut"><a href="#">Download</a></div>
And in css:
.shortcut {
vertical-align: middle;
}
.shortcut > a:after {
vertical-align: inherit;
{
This way the icon will align properly in any resolution/font-size combination. Great for use with icon fonts.
Using flexboxes did the trick for me:
.pdf:before {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
