Hello people.
I’m having a little trouble setting the background colour of only the text within a paragraph, rather than the entire paragraph (block) having the background colour. I hope that makes sense. Here’s an example:
This is what I am trying to achieve:
[attachment=1]right.gif[/attachment]
This is what I am getting:
[attachment=0]wrong.gif[/attachment]
I can’t for the life of me get it to happen although I’m sure I’ve done this accidentally before!
Any help would be great.
The cause of the undesired affect is that Paragraphs are "block level elements" (ie, they make a rectangle).
You can either a) make paragraph "display:inline" (or similar), or b) add a <span> (which is an inline element) inside your paragraph and assign the background color to that.
Make sense?
This is paragraph text enclosed by span with a different background-color
lets check
what
happens
This is paragraph text with paragraph styling
Works a treat, thanks gents.
