How to keep padding on heading text highlight when line breaks

Recommended Posts

 

I'm using the following code to add a highlight to my h2 when bolded but the highlight is abrupt when the line breaks in mobile or smaller browser size. Is there a better way to do this so that the highlight feels more like a background around all letters with equal space?

   
h2 strong {
  background: #1b1b1a;
  padding-top: 7px;
  padding-bottom: 7px;
  font-weight:normal !important;
}

No, I haven't actually. I worked around it for now by doing a hard return and adding a space before the line. But that's not ideal. Do you know how I can fix this without the forced return?

Still happens on longer headlines where I can't control the line breaks.

I'd like there to be padding on the left of the text when it drops down a line. The way "Call Loca" looks is what I'm after but unless I manually add a return and a space I can't get it. For example what you see before "Time" is what it looks like if it just automatically drops a line in smaller screens.

Is there a way to keep that left padding even when the sentence breaks into multiple lines?

I know this is an old thread, but I recently ran into a similar situation and came across this post while I was looking for a solution. I found something that worked for my situation by including the following css attributes I found on this article: https://dev.to/nhuynh1/highlighter-effect-adding-box-decorations-like-padding-to-inline-elements-that-wrap-onto-multiple-lines-10ip. Hope you find it useful!

{
    box-decoration-break: clone;
    -webkit-box-decoration-break: clone;
}

 

I tested out this solution on your site and see if it would work. While looking at it, I noticed a lot of the css is missing semicolons after a lot of attributes. Don't know if this is a Squarespace issue or not, since I have not worked with their builder. There were also an element style I needed to remove in order to make the spacing even for all sides as well. These were my changes:

h2 strong {
    background: #1b1b1a;
    padding-top: 6px;
    padding-bottom: 6px;
    font-weight: normal !important;
    padding-left: 30px;
    padding-right: 30px;
    box-decoration-break: clone;
    -webkit-box-decoration-break: clone;
}

h2 element style attribute  {
    text-align: center;
    /* white-space: pre-wrap; */
}

 

Note missing line numbers and semicolons in original css on the left.

Site unchanged - no padding on headline lines 2 and 3.

Addition of box-decoration-break - padding now visible on headlines 2 and 3, but greater on line 1 left & right, and on line 2 right only.
