Everyone is welcomed to make this project rocket safer.

Spacings

set padding and / or margin as spacings between elements:

mgn = margin pdg = padding

you can add the position of padding

mgn-[direction]-[number]-[algorithm]

Position

mgn-top = top mgn-rgt = right mgn-btm = bottom mgn-lft = left mgn-vrt = vertical mgn-hzn = horizontal

Number

mgn-5 = 0.5rem = 5px mgn-10 = 1rem = 10px mgn-15 = 1.5rem = 15px

Algorithm

mgn-top = top

class example

mgn-top-5-each

Font-size

set the font-size with fsi-[size] like:

<h3 class="fsi-18">I'am 1.8rem big</h3>
<p class="fsi-13">let me tell you some funny things</p>

you can set your needed sizes to following variable into /themes/default/settings.scss

"font-size-list": "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 15 17 20 25 30 35 40 45"

-fxd = fixed
-rel = relative
-abs = absolute
-stc = static

Inner Positions

-cnr-top = inner top center
-cnr-btm = inner bottom center
-top     = top: 0;
-top-rgt = top: 0; right: 0;
-top-lft = top: 0; left: 0;
-rgt     = right: 0;
-btm     = bottom: 0;
-btm-rgt = bottom: 0; right: 0;
-btm-lft = bottom: 0; left: 0;
-lft     = left: 0;

Outer Positions

out = outer positions

-out-cnr-top = outer top center
-out-cnr-btm = outer bottom center
-out-top = bottom: 100%;
-out-rgt = left: 100%;
-out-btm = top: 100%;
-out-lft = right: 100%;
