Reply To: Spacing On Each Side of List Separator

[Merri]

Just to give some additional food for thought:

ul,li {
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: top;
}

ul {
  font-size: 0;
  margin: 1px 0 0 1px;
  padding: 0;
}

li {
  background: #CCC;
  border: 1px solid black;
  font-size: 32px;
  font-size: 2rem;
  margin: -1px 0 0 -1px;
  padding: 0 1em;
}

If you wonder why this is better than floats… resize the window.
