Using align-items with wkhtmltopdf

Question

I'm using wkhtmltopdf to convert a HTML to PDF. I know wkhtmltopdf uses an old version of webkit, which makes things a little more complicated.

I have a contact image and I want to display the contact name right next to it:

Image: How it's supposed to look

This is my HTML:

<div class="contact">
    <img src="C:/mypath/picture.jpg">
    <span>Contact Name</span>
</div>

CSS:

div.contact {
    display: -webkit-flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    justify-content: left;
}

div.contact>img {
    width: 70px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    margin-right: 20px;
}

div.contact>span {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 110px;
}

Doesn't work so far. Applying align-items: center; to div.contact doesn't work either.

Thanks for the tip, @s.kuznetsov! I've already checked it though and it didn't help because it does not explain how to center elements vertically. The original Flexbox spec didn't get me further either ... — Ginny

I think I found your solution. Actually align-self is working but .contact height is not big enough to cover viewport. So I wrote this; I hope it's enough for you.

For HTML

<div class="contact">
    <div class="contact-box">
        <img src="C:/mypath/picture.jpg">
        <span>Contact Name</span>
    </div>
</div>

And for CSS

body {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-color: #000000;
}

.contact {
    display: flex;
    display: -webkit-flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    width: 100%;
    min-height: 100vh;
    margin: auto;
}

.contact-box {
  background-color: white;
  padding: 10px;
}

.contact img {
    align-self: center;
    justify-self: center;
    width: 70px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    margin-right: 20px;
}

.contact span {
    align-self: center;
    justify-self: center;
    width: 110px;
}
