Buttons

All buttons require the base class button combined with two modifier classes. One modifier class will define the button as solid vs. outline, and the second modifier class will define the button’s color.

Button classes can be applied to both button and link elements (<button> and <a>, respectively).

Infonote

Be sure your tables are properly structured with <thead>, <th>, and <tbody> elements. You can apply these structural elements to a table in a WYSIWYG by right-clicking within a table cell and selecting the appropriate options in the context menu under Row > Row properties (for rows) and Cell > Cell properties (for cells).

...

There are a number of utility classes available for working with text.

Infonote

Note that in all the text examples below, the size likely appear appears off because they’re all done with screen grabs and the images get resized according to the size of your browser window. Hopefully you get the gist though.

...

Code Block
<p class="text--emulate-h1">...</p>
<p class="text--emulate-h2">...</p>
<p class="text--emulate-h3">...</p>
<p class="text--emulate-h4">...</p>
<p class="text--emulate-h5">...</p>
<p class="text--emulate-h6">...</p>

The following classes will cause links to animate on hover and focus:

  • text--animated-links

  • text--animated-links-boderless

  • text--animated-link

  • text--animated-link-borderless

What’s the difference?

Classes text--animated-links and text--animated-links-borderless are applied to container elements (e.g., <div>, <p>, etc.) and apply hover/focus animations to all links within that element (note the plural links in the class name). Classes text--animated-link and text--animated-link-borderless are applied directly to <a> elements and affect only the elements they are applied to (note the singular link in the class name).

Code Block
<!-- Apply animations to all links -->
<p class="text--animated-links">
  Be a hero - <a href="...">adopt a homeless animal</a> or <a href="...">make a monetary donation</a>.
</p>

<!-- Apply animation to a specific link -->
<p>
  Be a hero - <a class="text--animated-link" href="...">adopt a homeless animal</a> or <a href="...">make a monetary donation</a>.
</p>

Classes with the -borderless suffix have no border treatment applied in the links off state, whereas classes without the -borderless suffix will apply a bottom border in this case.

Info

WYSIWYGs apply link animations by default, so there is no need to use these classes there. These classes are most helpful in custom widgets and layouts.
