how to set the same height as the parent element

Question

I would like to know to align the text in a p element to be vertically centered.

Here is my code:

p.task{font-family: Arial,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight: 700;  display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;}
span.label {float: left; width: 60px; color: red}
span.text {float: left; width: calc(100% - 60px);}

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.10.0/dist/katex.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<p class="task">
  <span class="label">2</span>
  <span class="text">Vypočtěte jednu třetinu z \( 3^{3k+3} \) , kde \( k \space \epsilon \space Z \).</span>
</p>

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.10.0/dist/katex.js"></script>
<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/katex@0.10.0/dist/contrib/auto-render.min.js" 
    onload="renderMathInElement(document.body);"></script>

add vertical-center class to the p.

.vertical-center {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}

or can add the above 2 style-rules within the task class.

.task {
    font-family: Arial,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif; 
    font-weight: 700;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}

Flex is great. But you need to check if all the browsers you want to support can handle it. Check out https://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox – schlonzo Feb 10 '19 at 18:39
