<pre> tag adds gap above itself?
Solution 1
What ever is inside <pre>
preserves the whitespace as well..
If you remove the whitespace between <pre>
and <code>
like this
<pre><code>
and
</code></pre>
it gets fixed..

Solution 2
This is due to the fact that <pre>
preserves white space. You have empty line breaks at both the beginning and end of your <pre>
tag. Change it to the following:
<h2>Embed Code</h2>
<pre><code>
<script type="text/javascript">
var something = 'else';
</script>
</code></pre>
You may also need to remove the line breaks at the beginning and end of your <code>
tag:
<h2>Embed Code</h2>
<pre><code><script type="text/javascript">
var something = 'else';
</script></code></pre>
Hope that helps!
Solution 3
You've created this gap yourself. The background-color
you specified is a property of <code>
. By using newlines inside of your <pre>
element your actually creating a new line as <pre>
preserves white space. You may want to use
<h2>Embed Code</h2>
<pre><code>
<script type="text/javascript">
var something = 'else';
</script></code></pre>
If you wish to keep the "margin" but fill it with the color of <code>
use
<h2>Embed Code</h2>
<pre><code>
<script type="text/javascript">
var something = 'else';
</script>
</code></pre>

I have the following HTML:
<h2>Embed Code</h2> <pre> <code> <script type="text/javascript"> var something = 'else'; </script> </code> </pre>
And the following CSS:
h2 { background:#1e7ca2; font-weight: 100; font-size: 1.25em; padding: 10px 15px; margin: 0; color: white; } pre { margin:0; padding:0; } code { margin: 0; padding: 0 30px; display: block; background: #1d1f20; color: #839496; font-size: .85em; line-height: 1.6em; }
But there's a gap between the
h2
and thepre
element that I can't seem to get rid of.You can see the problem in action here: http://jsfiddle.net/gaby/k5V8U/
