I want the flex items to take full height, but the content inside them to be vertically centred.
justify-content: centre
doesn't work, and align-self: centre
on the item itself shrinks its height to its own content, while I want all items to be the same height.
In this example I want the numbers to be vertically centred: http://codepen.io/ilyador/pen/ogYbWO?editors=110
.flex-container {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
display: flex;
}
.flex-item {
flex: 1 1;
background: tomato;
padding: 5px;
margin-top: 10px;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 3em;
text-align: center;
border: solid 1px red;
}
