page	Layout

Primer's layout includes basic page containers and a single-tiered, fraction-based grid system. That sounds more complicated than it really is though—it's just containers, rows, and columns.

You can find all the below styles in _layout.scss.

Contents

• Will be replaced with the ToC, excluding the "Contents" header {:toc}

Container

Center your page's contents with a .container.

{% highlight html %}

{% endhighlight %}

The container applies width: 980px; and uses horizontal margins to center it.

Grid

How it works

The grid is pretty standard—you create rows with .columns and individual columns with a column class and fraction class. Here's how it works:

• Add a .container to encapsulate everything and provide ample horizontal gutter space.
• Create your outer row to clear the floated columns with <div class="columns">.
• Add your columns with individual <div class="column">s.
• Add your fractional width classes to set the width of the columns (e.g., .one-fourth).

Demo

In practice, your columns will look like the example below.

{% example html %}

.one-fifth

.four-fifths

.one-fourth

.three-fourths

.one-third

.two-thirds

.one-half

.one-half

{% endexample %}

Centered

Columns can be centered by adding .centered to the .column class.

{% example html %}

.one-half

{% endexample %}
