A typographic SASS extension to help you easily maintain vertical-rhythm in your projects.

• Copy sass/_linegraphy.sass into your project's SASS directory
• Import the file into your project @import linegraphy

Converts a static font-size to relative units

• $font-size: size of the elements font in px

Example:

p
  @include font-size(16px)

Generates:

p {
  font-size: 1em;
}

Calculates the elements line-height

• $font-size: size of the elements font in px
• $custom-line-height: (optional)

Example:

h1
  @include line-height(48px, 48px)
p
  @include line-height(16px)

Generates:

h1 {
  line-height: 1em;
}
p {
  font-size: 1.5em;
}

Creates rhythmed whitepace before an element

• $font-size: size of the elements font in px
• $property: padding or margin
• $lines: integer (optional) multiplies the whitespace by nth

Example:

p
  @include line-before(16px, margin)

Generates:

p {
  margin-top: 1.5em;
}

Creates rhythmed whitepace after an element

• $font-size: size of the elements font in px
• $property: padding or margin
• $lines: integer (optional) multiplies the whitespace by nth

Example:

p
  @include line-after(16px, margin, 2)

Generates:

p {
  margin-bottom: 3em;
}

Calculates the rhythmed whitepace for an element and divides it up before AND after an element

• $font-size: size of the elements font in px
• $property: padding or margin
• $lines: integer (optional) multiplies the whitespace by nth

Example:

p
  @include line-both(16px, margin)

Generates:

p {
  margin-top: 0.75em;
  margin-bottom: 0.75em;
}

Creates rhythmed whitespace before an element and adds a "border-top" to it

• $font-size: size of the elements font in px
• $property: padding or margin
• $border-size: border size in px
• $border-style: solid, dashed, dotted, etc
• $border-color: hex, rgb, rgba, hsla

Example:

p
  @include line-border-before(16px, padding, 1px, solid, #000)

Generates:

p {
  border-top: 1px solid #000
  padding-top: 1.5em;
}

Creates rhythmed whitespace after an element and adds a "border-bottom" to it

• $font-size: size of the elements font in px
• $property: padding or margin
• $border-size: border size in px
• $border-style: solid, dashed, dotted, etc
• $border-color: hex, rgb, rgba, hsla

Example:

p
  @include line-border-after(16px, padding, 1px, solid, #000)

Generates:

p {
  border-bottom: 1px solid #000
  padding-bottom: 1.5em;
}

Creates rhythmed whitespace before a fixed height element

• $height: height of the element in px
• $property: padding or margin
• $lines: integer (optional) multiplies the whitespace by nth

Example:

img
  @include line-fixed-before(16px, padding, 1) 
  display: block
  height: 100px
  width: 100px

Generates:

img {
  padding-top: 1.25em;
  display: block;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
}

Creates rhythmed whitespace after a fixed height element

• $height: height of the element in px
• $property: padding or margin
• $lines: integer (optional) multiplies the whitespace by nth

Example:

img
  @include line-fixed-after(16px, padding, 1) 
  display: block
  height: 100px
  width: 100px

Generates:

img {
  padding-bottom: 1.25em;
  display: block;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
}

Calculates the rhythmed whitepace for a fixed height element and divides it up before AND after an element

• $height: height of the element in px
• $property: padding or margin
• $lines: integer (optional) multiplies the whitespace by nth

Example:

img
  @include line-fixed-both(16px, padding, 1) 
  display: block
  height: 100px
  width: 100px

Generates:

img {
  padding-top: 0.625em;
  padding-bottom: 0.625em;
  display: block;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
}

Converts a static unit to a relative unit

• $target: px the static unit you want a relative unit from
• $context: px the targets parent unit

Example:

p
 font-size: static-to-relative(16px)

Generates:

p {
  font-size: 1em;
}

Converts a static unit to a relative unit

• context: em the relative unit you want a static unit from

Example:

p
 font-size: relative-to-static(1em)

Generates:

p {
  font-size: 16px;
}

Takes an elements height and returns the difference between it and the next multiple of the baseline

• context: em the relative unit you want a static unit from

Example:

img
 height: 100px
 margin-bottom: remainder(100px)

Generates:

img {
  height: 100px;
  /* 24px (line-height) * 5 = 120px - 100px (img height) = 20px */
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}
