How do I center text inside of the border?

Question

How would I go about moving the text so that it's in the center

This is what I have in my stylesheet

.box {
  background-color: red;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  border: 1px solid white;
  font-family: Arial;
  height: 30px;
}

Answer 1

You can use flex or other funky styling - but the simplest way is to use line height which is set to the same as the height of the container.

.box {
  background-color: red;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  border: 1px solid white;
  font-family: Arial;
  height: 30px;
  line-height: 30px
}

<div class="box">This is centered text</div>
