如何在没有文本扭曲的情况下将文本中心与无序列表对齐？

Question

I like to show a unordered list text center of image background at top. But unfortunately, i am getting the text warpped. I don't know why it happens. Please fix my code.

My code,

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<style>
.image {
  width:100%;
  height:200px;
}
.container {
  position: relative;
  color: white;
  height:200px;
  width:100%;
}
.title {
    font-family: Ubuntu;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 30px;
    color: white;
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
.title ul li {
    display: inline-block;
    list-style:none;
    letter-spacing:0px;
}
</style>

<div class="container">     
<img src="image.jpg" class="image">
 <div class="title" >
        <ul>
            <li>S</li>
            <li>o</li>
            <li>m</li>
            <li>e</li>
            <li>T</li>
            <li>e</li>
            <li>x</li>
            <li>t</li>
            <li>H</li>
            <li>e</li>
            <li>r</li>
            <li>e</li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

Expected Output, fig1

I don't know what i am doing wrong. Please fix my code and explain. My need is, List to be shown in center of the image background in same line without warping.

Answer 1

Since each letter of your word are in individual <li> tags, one thing that might fix this is the following.

.container .title ul {
  display: flex
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
}

It would also be beneficial here to add the following css:

.title {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  width: 100%;
}

This will size the container of the title to fit the entire screen, which at the moment it isn't.

Also, from your demo page, you still need to add display: flex; to your <ul> .

From what I'm seeing in the inspector - doing these things should fix your problem.
