Baseline

<span class="inline-block align-baseline ...">...</span>

Top

Use .align-top to align the top of an element and its descendants with the top of the entire line.

<span class="inline-block align-top ...">...</span>

Middle

Use .align-middle to align the middle of an element with the baseline plus half the x-height of the parent.

<span class="inline-block align-middle ...">...</span>

Bottom

Use .align-bottom to align the bottom of an element and its descendants with the bottom of the entire line.

<span class="inline-block align-bottom ...">...</span>

Text Top

Use .align-text-top to align the top of an element with the top of the parent element’s font.

<span class="inline-block align-text-top ...">...</span>

Text Bottom

Use .align-text-bottom to align the bottom of an element with the bottom of the parent element’s font.

<span class="inline-block align-text-bottom ...">...</span>

Responsive

To control the vertical alignment only at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing vertical align utility. For example, adding the class md:align-top to an element would apply the align-top utility at medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="relative">
<span class="align-middle md:align-top ...">...</span>
<span>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</span>
</div>
