Does anyone have an idea how to align the second line?
display:block;
then you've got a block element and the margin is added to all lines.
While it's true that a span is semantically not a block element, there are cases where you don't have control of the pages DOM. This answer is inteded for those.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">
Line no one
Line no two
And many more line.
This is Manik
End of Line
</span>
</body>
</html>
<span> elements are inline elements, as such layout properties such as width
or margin
don't work. You can fix that by either changing the <span>
to a block element (such as <div>
), or by using padding instead.
Note that making a span
element a block element by adding display: block;
is redundant, as a span
is by definition a otherwise style-less inline element whereas div
is an otherwise style-less block element. So the correct solution is to use a div
instead of a block-span
.
Also you can try to use
display:inline-block;
if you would like the span element to align horizontally.
Incase you would like to align span elements vertically, just use
display:block;
span
is a inline element which means if you use <br/>
it'll b considered as one line anyway.
Change span
to a block element or add display:block
to your class.

You want multiple lines of text indented on the left. Try the following:
CSS:
div.info {
margin-left: 10px;
}
span.info {
color: #b1b1b1;
font-size: 11px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight:bold;
}
HTML:
<div class="info"><span class="info">blah blah <br/> blah blah</span></div>
