I have a some absolutely positioned divs with two lines of text, an h2 and a p. I'm trying to get the text to be: centered vertically within the absolutely positioned div, right aligned, and there be a linebreak between the h2 and p tag.
The absolutely positioned divs are contained within a parent so I thought I could use flexbox to solve this problem, but turns out it's harder than expected. I've given the parent display:flex and align-items:center which vertically centers them. But then my h2 and p are on the same line, there's no linebreak.
So then I used flex-direction: column which created a linebreak, but then the text is no longer centered vertically. If I use align-items:flex-end and flex-direction:column the text will be right aligned and there will be a linebreak between the h2 and p, but then they are not centered vertically.
margin-right:auto can supposedly right align items, but combined with align-items:center and flex-direction:column, it doesn't work. float:right also doesn't work.
My markup looks like this:
<div class = "col-sm-12">
<div class = "row overlay-container">
<img src = "_img/top-right@4x.png" class = "img-responsive grid-image" alt = "top-right@4x image" />
<div class = "overlay overlay-2">
<h2>Recent Work</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor</p>
</div> <!-- /overlay -->
</div> <!-- /row -->
</div> <!-- /top right -->
where overlay is the absolutely positioned div inside the overlay-container. The overlay is a box positioned over a portion of the image. The display:flex and other properties mentioned above are on the overlay class.
It seems that no matter what I try, I can only get two out of the three conditions to work. Using flexbox is not a requirement, but I thought it would make it easy to vertically center the text. Can anyone help?
