AtoZ CSS Quick Tip: Justifying Text and Using Flexbox

This article is part of the AtoZ CSS series. You can find other entries for the series here. See the full screen recording and instructions on text alignment here.

Welcome to our AtoZ CSS series! In this series, I will explore different CSS values ​​(and properties) that start with different letters in the alphabet. We know that sometimes screen recording is not enough, so in this article I have added a new tip/course on text alignment.

J stands for text alignment

Nothing more to say about text alignment, so in this article we will take a detour into the world of Flexbox and take a look at how to align content. In screen recording of J letters, we discuss the text-align property and how to use it to align text on the page. There is nothing more to say about this, so let's dive into some Flexbox! Flexbox has a justify-content property that allows you to locate elements within an elastic container. Each value of this property defines how the browser allocates space between and around elastic items along the main axis of its parent container. justify-content There are five different values:

• flex-start (default): The item is placed at the beginning of the containing element
• flex-end: The item is at the end of the containing element
• center: The item is centered within the contained element
• space-between: The item is evenly distributed over the entire width of the containing element, the first child element at the beginning and the last child element at the end
• space-around: The project is evenly distributed, with equal spacing around the project, as well as the beginning and end. Check this example to learn about the different results when changing the value of the justify-content property. View CodePen example

Frequently Asked Questions about CSS Text Alignment (FAQ)

What is the difference between

and justify-content: space-between in space-around?

In CSS, the justify-content property is used to align items along a horizontal line in an elastic container. The space-between and space-around values ​​of this property behave differently. When you use space-between , the browser distributes space evenly between elastic items, but not around them. This means that the first item will be at the beginning of the line and the last item will be at the end of the line. On the other hand, when you use space-around , the browser evenly distributes the space around the elastic project. This means there will be space on both sides of the first and last project, which is half the size of the space between the projects.

CSS How does justify-content: space-evenly work?

The
