# Vertical alignment

Easily change the vertical alignment of inline, inline-block, inline-table, and table cell elements.

Change the alignment of elements with the `vertical-alignment` utilities. Please note that vertical-align only affects inline, inline-block, inline-table, and table cell elements.

Choose from `.align-baseline`, `.align-top`, `.align-middle`, `.align-bottom`, `.align-text-bottom`, and `.align-text-top` as needed.

With inline elements:

baseline top middle bottom text-top text-bottom

    <span class="align-baseline">baseline</span>
    <span class="align-top">top</span>
    <span class="align-middle">middle</span>
    <span class="align-bottom">bottom</span>
    <span class="align-text-top">text-top</span>
    <span class="align-text-bottom">text-bottom</span>

With table cells:

baseline | top | middle | bottom | text-top | text-bottom

    <table style="height: 100px;">
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td class="align-baseline">baseline</td>
          <td class="align-top">top</td>
          <td class="align-middle">middle</td>
          <td class="align-bottom">bottom</td>
          <td class="align-text-top">text-top</td>
          <td class="align-text-bottom">text-bottom</td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
