I managed to center text inside a table cell using display: table-cell, vertical-align: middle, and text-align: center. However, I'm experiencing unwanted spacing above and below the text. How can I completely eliminate it? I want zero margin/padding all around the text.
PS- I've attempted to use border-collapse: collapse but it doesn't seem to be working as intended.
