Editing How-To

I made style customization easy with variables. Go to sass -> variables to adjust the color palette, font choices, content width, and mobile breakpoints.

If you'd like to make your own variable, the syntax is $variable-name: variable-value;. Whenever you want to call that value, the syntax is css-selector: $variable-name;

All sizing, aside from base font size and fixed widths, is sized in rems. These are relative units that scale using the base font size as their constant (1rem = base font size). Sticking to rems when adjusting your sizing ensures your site is more responsive and proportionally constant across various screen and window sizes.

The logo svg file (icon.svg) affects both the navigation logo and the browser icon. To change the color, open the svg file and change fill:#00b595 to your new accent color. To change the color of the alef itself, change stroke:#fff, and to make it thicker or thinner, change stroke-width:8px.

Individualized Layout Styling

The "base" stylesheet applies to the entire site. The "nav" stylesheet applies to the nav bar across the site.

All {{content}} is wrapped in <main> tags so it accesses base main content styling. Layouts with special formatting have a class added to their main tag (note: the post layout is wrapped in a highest level div instead, because it's derived from the default layout). Those class names correspond to a stylesheet of the same name in the sass directory.

The formatting in these layout stylesheets is layout-specific.
