<p class="delta">Frameworks make decisions for you about how to organize, structure and design a site. Pattern libraries don’t separate styling and markup, making them tough to use in a truly modular fashion. We weren’t satisfied, so we made a thing that doesn’t do that.</p>
<p><i><b>Typeplate</b></i> is a “typographic starter kit”. We don’t make aesthetic design choices, but define <b>proper markup with extensible styling</b> for common typographic patterns. A stripped-down Sass library concerned with the appropriate technical implementation of design patterns—not how they look.</p>

<p>Establish clearly distinguishable heading levels with font-size. Don’t randomly pick font sizes, choose a type hierarchy that is harmonious and consistent. Always <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/more-meaningful-typography" rel="external">use a modular scale</a> that calculates those sizes from a ratio ensuring your design and typography can relate in a meaningful way. There’s an excellent calculator for this at <a href="http://modularscale.com" rel="external">modularscale.com</a>.</p>
<blockquote cite="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/more-meaningful-typography">
<p>By using culturally relevant, historically pleasing ratios to create modular scales and basing the measurements in our compositions on values from those scales, we can achieve a visual harmony not found in layouts that use arbitrary, conventional, or easily divisible numbers.</p>

<p>On the web, paragraphs are commonly set in blocks, with top and bottom margins. Historically, paragraphs are set using indentation, which makes it easier to scan long-form text and are (we think) more conducive to readability.</p>
<figure class="example no-top-pad">
<p>I crawled out almost immediately, and crouched, my feet still in the water, under a clump of furze. The horse lay motionless (his neck was broken, poor brute!) and by the lightning flashes I saw the black bulk of the overturned dog cart and the silhouette of the wheel still spinning slowly. In another moment the colossal mechanism went striding by me, and passed uphill towards Pyrford.</p>
<p>Seen nearer, the Thing was incredibly strange, for it was no mere insensate machine driving on its way. Machine it was, with a ringing metallic pace, and long, flexible, glittering tentacles (one of which gripped a young pine tree) swinging and rattling about its strange body.</p>
<p>It picked its road as it went striding along, and the brazen hood that surmounted it moved to and fro with the inevitable suggestion of a head looking about. Behind the main body was a huge mass of white metal like a gigantic fisherman’s basket, and puffs of green smoke squirted out from the joints of the limbs as the monster swept by me. And in an instant it was gone.</p>
<p>So much I saw then, all vaguely for the flickering of the lightning, in blinding highlights and dense black shadows.</p>
<p>As it passed it set up an exultant deafening howl that drowned the thunder—“Aloo! Aloo!”—and in another minute it was with its companion, half a mile away, stooping over something in the field. I have no doubt this Thing in the field was the third of the ten cylinders they had fired at us from Mars.</p>

</header>
<p>Responsive or not, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t all be designing and building sites on flexible foundations. In a fluid layout, browser width and typographic measure are linked: the wider the viewport, the more characters per line. Keeping in mind that a range of 45-75 characters per line is generally accepted as safe for comfortable reading, there are a few things that can be done to avoid extra long lines of text in fluid layouts. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Typographic-Style-Robert-Bringhurst/dp/0881792063" rel="external">Robert Bringhurst</a> recommends for us to leave at least two characters behind and take at least three forward.</p>
<blockquote cite="http://nicewebtype.com/notes/2013/01/16/where-to-avoid-css-hyphenation">
<p>Since hyphens is an inherited property, it isn’t sufficient to set it for a limited number of elements and assume you’re done. You have to make sure you’ve turned it off for the elements that shouldn’t be hyphenated.</p>

<h1 class="gamma section-title"><a class="perma-anchor" href="#definition-lists">§</a> 4.8 Definition Lists</h1>
</header>
<p>The dl element is for another type of list called a definition list. Instead of list items, the content of a dl consists of dt (Definition Term) and dd (Definition Description) pairs.</p>
<p>TypePlate offers several different patterns for definition lists. In all three of the examples below, the contents of dts are wrapped in b tags, and a class of .micro is given to the contents of dds. First is the default format for definitions lists.</p>
<h3 class="delta">a) Multi-line Definitions (default)</h3>
<figure class="example no-top-pad">
<dl>
<dt><b>This is a term</b></dt>
<dd>this is the definition of that term, which both live in a <code>dl</code>.</dd>
<dt><b>Another Term</b></dt>
<dd>And it gets a definition too, which is this line</dd>
<dd>This is a 2<sup>nd</sup> definition for a single term. A <code>dt</code> may be followed by multiple <code>dd</code>s.</dd>
</dl>
</figure>
<figure class="typeplate-code-block">
<figcaption>HTML</figcaption>
<pre><code class="language-markup"><dl>
<dt><b></b></dt>
<dd></dd>
</dl></code></pre>
</figure>
<h3 class="delta">b) Inline Definitions</h3>
<p>The second format for definition lists is lining. This style is more robust, with support for multiple terms defined by a single definition, and applies proper punctuation (: ,) where appropriate:</p>
<figure class="example no-top-pad">
<dl class="lining">
<dt><b>This is a term</b></dt>
<dd>this is the definition of that term, which both live in a <code>dl</code>.</dd>
<dt><b>Another Term</b></dt>
<dd class="micro">And it gets a definition too, which is this line</dd>
<dd class="micro"> this is a 2<sup>nd</sup> definition for a single term.</dd>
<dt><b>Term</b></dt>
<dt><b>Other Defined Term</b></dt>
<dd><code>dt</code> terms may stand on their own without an accompanying <code>dd</code>, but in that case they <em>share</em> descriptions with the next available <code>dt</code>. You may not have a <code>dd</code> without a parent <code>dt</code>.</dd>
</dl>
</figure>
<figure class="typeplate-code-block">
<figcaption>HTML</figcaption>
<pre><code class="language-markup"><dl class="lining">

<dd></dd>
</dl></code></pre>
</figure>
<figure class="typeplate-code-block">
<figcaption>Sass</figcaption>
<pre><code class="language-sass">@mixin definition-list-style($style) {
// lining style

dt, dd {

dt, dd {

}
}
}
dl {
@include definition-list-style(lining);
}</code></pre>
</figure>
<h3 class="delta">c) Dictionary-style Definition</h3>
<p>The third format for definition lists is dictionary. This style is more a formal, applying proper punctuation where necessary and includes ordinal indicators:</p>
<figure class="example no-top-pad">
<dl class="dictionary-style">
<dt><b>This is a term</b></dt>
<dd>this is the definition of that term, which both live in a <code>dl</code>.</dd>
<dt><b>Another Term</b></dt>
<dd>And it gets a definition too, which is this line</dd>
<dd> this is a 2<sup>nd</sup> definition for a single term.</dd>
<dt><b>Term</b></dt>
<dt><b>Other Defined Term</b></dt>
<dd><code>dt</code> terms may stand on their own without an accompanying <code>dd</code>, but in that case they <em>share</em> descriptions with the next available <code>dt</code>. You may not have a <code>dd</code> without a parent <code>dt</code>.</dd>

margin-left: -0.2rem; /* removes extra space between the dt and the comma */
}
}
}
dd {
