How to align an indented line in a span that wraps into multiple lines?

Does anyone have an idea how to align the second line?

alt text

span.info {
  margin-left: 10px;
  color: #b1b1b1;
  font-size: 11px;
  font-style: italic;
  font-weight: bold;
}

<span class="info"></span>

display:block;

then you've got a block element and the margin is added to all lines.

While it's true that a span is semantically not a block element, there are cases where you don't have control of the pages DOM. This answer is inteded for those.

<span> elements are inline elements, as such layout properties such as width or margin don't work. You can fix that by either changing the <span> to a block element (such as <div>), or by using padding instead.

Note that making a span element a block element by adding display: block; is redundant, as a span is by definition a otherwise style-less inline element whereas div is an otherwise style-less block element. So the correct solution is to use a div instead of a block-span.

span is a inline element which means if you use <br/> it'll b considered as one line anyway.

Change span to a block element or add display:block to your class.
