Random padding on top and bottom of the code elements

[MattKnowsTech]

Hey everyone! I’m experiencing a problem with my [blog](http://mattkosloski.tumblr.com/post/36558501423/css-slider “blog”). For the <code> inside of the <pre> boxes, there seems to be random padding on the top and on the bottom of it. Below is a url to a screenshot that climaxes my problem. Notice there’s no padding on the right side, a little padding on the left, and a lot of padding on the top and bottom.

hmmm. u have a line-height that might be the issue:

code {

font-family: 'Inconsolata';

line-height: 20px;

}

@twincy , There’s still padding on the sides. :( Thank you for you help though! Very appreciated.

It’s the spaces, tabs, and line returns in your code

wolfcry is right, it’s a line return causing that issue. So instead of writing your HTML like this:

Whatever

You should write it like this:
