Imagine I have a <div>
with some <p>
in it:
#myDiv {
width: max-content;
border-style: dashed;
}
<div id="myDiv">
<p>This is my text</p>
</div>
But I don't like the fact that the text is so close to the border
, so I tried this:
#myDiv {
width: calc(max-content 2px);
border-style: dashed;
}
<div id="myDiv">
<p>This is my text</p>
</div>
But (as you can see) it didn't work.
So my question is if there's a way to create a <div>
with a width of
Two pixels more than the content in it
since what I tried
calc(max-content 2px)
didn't work.
Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately you can't use the max-content
keyword with calc()
My solution to your problem would be to use padding:
#myDiv {
width: max-content;
padding-inline: 2px;
border-style: dashed;
}
<div id="myDiv">
<p>This is my text</p>
</div>
CodePudding user response:
You can set the div
to behave like an inline-block
element and add padding: 2px
to it. I think it would work the same way as you want.
So, here's the code:
#myDiv {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 2px;
border-style: dashed;
}
<div id="myDiv">
<p>This is my text</p>
</div>
