It would be nice to have a way to shift the alignment of the span. The font icon is slightly offset vertically compared to the string text. I've looked through the `span` source and seen the limited list of styling props available. If this isn't simply achievable, maybe an explanation on the limitation so the documentation can be improved in this area as well. I'm sure I can't be the only one who's tried this approach and noticed it 😄 so if there are limitations at least having it documented for new NS devs would be nice 👍 look forward to hearing more info. Thanks as always 🤗 \r\n\r\nBelow is screen demonstrating the offset:\r\n\u003cimg width=\"411\" alt=\"offsetspan\" src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6006148/30045445-03da57a8-91ca-11e7-82bd-422b6170517a.png\"\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cbountysource-plugin\u003e\r\n\r\n---\r\nWant to back this issue? **[Post a bounty on it!](https://www.bountysource.com/issues/48986815-feature-request-span-supporting-alignment?utm_campaign=plugin\u0026utm_content=tracker%2F12908224\u0026utm_medium=issues\u0026utm_source=github)** We accept bounties via [Bountysource](https://www.bountysource.com/?utm_campaign=plugin\u0026utm_content=tracker%2F12908224\u0026utm_medium=issues\u0026utm_source=github).\r\n\u003c/bountysource-plugin\u003e","author":{"url":"https://github.com/bradmartin","@type":"Person","name":"bradmartin"},"datePublished":"2017-09-05T04:36:25.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":41},"url":"https://github.com/4795/NativeScript/issues/4795"}
