Text Is Not Aligning Properly In HTML/CSS

Hello there I want to include a blog post card in my website, and I want the text to be under each other but even after I set text:align: justify; it still does not work. Why?

My HTML/CSS of the card:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather|Open+Sans');

.container1{
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  padding: 80px;
}

.square:hover {
    -webkit-transform: translate(20px, -10px);
    -ms-transform: translate(10px, -10px);
    transform: translate(10px, -10px);
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 20px 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08);
    box-shadow: 0 20px 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08);
     }


.square{
  width: 460px;
    height: 430px;
    background: white;
  border-radius: 4px;
  box-shadow: 0px 20px 50px #D9DBDF;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease;
  -o-transition: all 0.3s ease;
  transition: all 0.3s ease; 
}

.mask{
  clip: rect(0px, 460px, 220px, 0px);
  border-radius: 4px;
  position: absolute;
}

img1{
  width: 460px;
  }

.h11{
  margin: auto;
  text-align: left;
  margin-top: 240px;
  padding-left: 30px;
  
  font-family: 'Merriweather', serif;
  font-size: 24px;
}
p9{
 text-align: justify; 
 font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
 font-size: 12px;
 color: #C8C8C8;
 line-height: 18px;
}

.button56 {
    background-color: #3EDD84;
    color: white;
    width: 100px;
    padding: 10px 18px;
    border-radius: 3px;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    display: block;
    margin-top: 15px;
    margin-left: 30px;
    margin-right: 70px;
    font-size: 12px;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-family: 'merriweather';

Ignore the image from the output above but as you can see, my text is not formatted properly and I tried everything I could to make it work, but I can't.

Expected Output:

    transform: translate(10px, -10px);
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 20px 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08);
    box-shadow: 0 20px 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08);
     }


.square{

    height: 430px;
    background: white;

Again ignore the image from the above output, but I want my text to be formatted like that. How would I do that?

Solution

  • Add a left and right padding of 30px to your .p9 class plus apply display: block to it to have the same padding as in the header above it. (BTW: You should also apply padding: right to the .h11 class, otherwise your text might go to far to the right if the text content, font-size or container width changes.

    @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather|Open+Sans');
.container1 {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  padding: 80px;
}

.square:hover {
  -webkit-transform: translate(20px, -10px);
  -ms-transform: translate(10px, -10px);
  transform: translate(10px, -10px);
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 20px 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08);
  box-shadow: 0 20px 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08);
}

.square {
  width: 460px;
  height: 430px;
  background: white;
  border-radius: 4px;
  box-shadow: 0px 20px 50px #D9DBDF;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease;
  -o-transition: all 0.3s ease;
  transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

.mask {
  clip: rect(0px, 460px, 220px, 0px);
  border-radius: 4px;
  position: absolute;
}

img1 {
  width: 460px;
}

.h11 {
  margin: auto;
  text-align: left;
  margin-top: 240px;
  padding-left: 30px;
  font-family: 'Merriweather', serif;
  font-size: 24px;
}

p9 {
  text-align: justify;
  font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
  font-size: 12px;
  color: #C8C8C8;
  line-height: 18px;
  padding-left: 30px;
  padding-right: 30px;
  display: block;
}

.button56 {
  background-color: #3EDD84;
  color: white;
  width: 100px;
  padding: 10px 18px;
  border-radius: 3px;
  text-align: center;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
  margin-top: 15px;
  margin-left: 30px;
  margin-right: 70px;
  font-size: 12px;
  cursor: pointer;
  font-family: 'merriweather';
