inline-block does not respect padding/margin

'.term': Style(
              padding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 10),
              margin: EdgeInsets.only(left: 10),
              fontSize: FontSize.smaller,
              fontStyle: FontStyle.italic,
              color: Colors.teal,
              display: Display.INLINE_BLOCK,
            ),

fontStyle, fontSize, and color fine, padding nor margin respected ...
