Column 2

div.span-x implies a column (.column can still be used). Remember to use “last” for the last column of the row to avoid it jumping to the next row. Columns can be nested inside one another. typographic.css sets up some sensible default typography. The font-size percentage is of 16px (0.75 * 16px = 12 px). Line-heights and vertical margins are automatically calculated from this in ems. The base line-height is 18px (1.5ems). This means that every element, from line-heights to images have a height that is a multiple of 18 (or 1.5 if you use ems). Color is #222 (dark grey); font-family is “Helvetica Neue”, “Helvetica”, “Arial”, sans-serif; Also defines tables, lists and misc. classes. GRID defined in grid.css. If you need more or fewer columns use this formula to find the new total width: total width = (columns *40) - 10 append-12 750px (19 columns) Add these to a column to add empty columns to the left. prepend-13 prepend-2 prepend-14 prepend-3 prepend-15 prepend-4 prepend-16 prepend-5 prepend-17 These classes are defined in the typography.css file.
