## Displaying Two Values in a Single Element ### Introduction This article discusses techniques for displaying two values in a single HTML element, a common design challenge when presenting data like dates and measurements. ### Traditional Methods Traditionally, two values are displayed in separate elements, such as: ```html Date: 2023-03-08 ``` However, this approach creates a visual separation and can disrupt the semantic structure of the page. ### Modern CSS Techniques CSS advancements now provide new ways to display two values in a single element: #### 1. `display: flex` and `align-items` This method uses a flexbox container with `align-items: center;` to align the values vertically: ```css .container { display: flex; align-items: center; } ``` ```html

Date: 2023-03-08

``` #### 2. `display: grid` and `grid-template-columns` This method uses a grid container with `grid-template-columns` to define the layout: ```css .container { display: grid; grid-template-columns: auto auto; } ``` ```html

Date: 2023-03-08

``` #### 3. CSS Variables and `calc()` This method uses CSS variables and the `calc()` function to calculate the width of the second value: ```css :root { --first-value-width: 100px; } .container { display: flex; width: calc(var(--first-value-width) + 200px); } ``` ```html

``` ### New Technology #### 1. `display: contents` The `display: contents` property allows an element to inherit the display style of its parent, making it appear as if it were not there. This can be used to remove the default wrapping of elements like `span`. #### 2. CSS Subgrid CSS Subgrid provides a more fine-grained control over grid layout, allowing for more complex scenarios where two values need to be displayed in different alignment within a single element. ### Best Practices When choosing a method, consider factors such as: - Browser support - Performance - Semantic accuracy - Visual appeal
