How do I set up a "box" for my text?

85 views Asked by At

I want to put text in a borderless box on my code. Reason is so that I can make the paragraph text not go all the way across the page and have them start a new line early.

I'm sorry for an incredibly vague answer, but it's only as vague as your question. If you need details, please modify your question and describe the end result. Anyway:

div {
  margin: 10px 0;
  }

p {
  margin: 0 50px;
}
<body>

  <div>Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size.</div>

  <p>Shorter paragraph size. Shorter paragraph size. Shorter paragraph size. Shorter paragraph size. Shorter paragraph size. Shorter paragraph size. Shorter paragraph size.
  </p>

  <div>Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size. Normal paragraph size.</div>

</body>

I hope this helps!

This can be done by setting a % width to the <p> in your css or making a custom style to use in your div, see http://jsfiddle.net/sycoinc/k8dgxkLs/ for an example
