I have the following JSFiddle where an SVG is placed on the left to some text inside a button. I would like the SVG to be inline with the text so that it is vertically positioned in the button.
I thought about using the following methods:
line-height though that does not appear to work.margin-top: however the whole content in the button moves down.What can I do to align the SVG with the text? Thanks.
If vertical-align doesn't provide subtle enough positioning for you, then you could try tweaking the icon's relative positioning using position: relative;.
.icon {
...
position: relative;
top: 0.15em;
}
If you use em values for the position, then that should allow the class to work for any font size.
button {
font-family:'Texta-Regular', sans-serif;
font-size: 2.7em;
line-height: 1.2em;
display: block;
margin: 2em auto;
padding: .3em 2em;
text-align: center;
border: none;
border-radius: 5px;
-webkitborder-radius: 5px;
outline: none;
background-color: #dd4b39;
color: #fff;
}
.icon {
width: 1em;
display: inline;
margin-right: 40px;
position: relative;
top: 0.15em;

Hi just add this to the following class and you will get what you want..!!
.icon {
width: 1em;
display: inline;
margin-right: 40px;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
vertical-align: bottom; should do it.

IMHO a proper (2020) approach / avoiding the problem would be not re-adjusting with negative values, but instead place it in the SVG spinly using <text> and <tspan> (which you still can address using CSS):
css:
button svg text {
font-family: 'Texta-Regular', sans-serif;
font-size: 20pt;
}
html:
<button>
<svg viewBox="0 0 200 50">
<rect rx="5" height="100%" width="100%"/>
<!-- path d="bla,etc"/ -->
<!-- path d="bla,etc"/ -->
<text dx="0" dy="0" x="50%" y="50%" text-anchor="middle"><tspan dominant-baseline="middle">Sign In with Google</tspan></text>
</svg>
</button>
Mind that Safari wants the y centering on the <tspan> tag.
The desired border-radius is done with rx on <rect>
Also this is SVG 2.0 - but I guess it wasn't different in 1.0.
<button>
<svg viewBox="..." height="..." width="..." ...>
<path ...>...</path>
</svg>
Your text
</button>
For the above case setting these properties on the button element should do the trick:
display: flex
text-align: center;
