Sizing

Work in progress

This page is a work in progress.

Please file an issue or submit a pull request if information or coding is missing, incorrect or out of sync with the main repository (wet-boew/wet-boew).

Purpose

Use to override the default size of any text (make text large or small).

Design and coding

Basic use

Height options

Use to override the global default font-size of 16px, with a line-height of 1.428.

Appearance
  • Size H1
  • Size H2
  • Size lead
  • Size H3
  • Size H4
  • Size H5
  • (Default size)
  • Size H6
  • Size small (CSS)
  • Size small (element)
Correct use

Compliance point(s):

  • Use appropriate semantic markup
    • Changes in text size can convey information
  • Use when you need to add or reduce impact to text that isn't an actual heading
  • Use the <small> element to define small text, for example side-comments, disclaimers and "fine" print, including copyright and legal text
  • Use the .small CSS to style text and reduce it in size and impact
Incorrect use

Compliance point(s):

  • Do not use this component in a way that conflicts with the preceding compliance point(s)
  • Do not use in place of actual headers
  • Do not use .small or <small> simply to squeeze a lot of text into a small area
    • Consider breaking the text into smaller blocks
Code
