</header>
<p>For a solid base we use <a href="https://github.com/typeplate/starter-kit/blob/master/scss/_typeplate-styles.scss#L4-L10">default font settings</a> to allow elements to display in their natural size determined by the browser's default stylesheet. This makes for <a href="https://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/how-we-learned-to-leave-body-font-size-alone.html">lighter CSS and more flexibility</a> in the markup you choose to use. We also ensure unit values for line-heights are never used per the <a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/02/08/unitless-line-heights" rel="external">recommendations of Eric Meyer</a>.</p>

</header>
<p>Establish clearly distinguishable heading levels with consistent font-sizes over randomly chosen values. Choose a type hierarchy that is harmonious and consistent with your project. In order to do so we suggest <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/more-meaningful-typography" rel="external">using a modular scale</a> that calculates sizes via 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>
<figure class="typl8-blockquote">
<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>Just like in print, don’t use the darkest black available in your body text (<code style="color:#000">#000</code>). Instead, go for something softer, like <code style="color:#444">#444</code>. You can use a slightly darker color for titles like (<code style="color:#222">#222</code>) for example. Since these values are considered a de facto standard in practice, they're not necessarily ordained by law.</p>

<p>The word-wrap <abbr title="cascading style sheets">CSS</abbr> property is used to specify whether or not, the browser may break lines within words in order to prevent overflow when an otherwise unbreakable string is too long to fit in its containing box.</p>

We’ll also be checking a few things like the longest word in the world “Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginylisoleucine” and other stuff like links that are way long such as <a href="http://google.com" rel="external">“Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginylisoleucine”</a> and other long links like <a href="http://google.com" rel="external">http://192.168.1.100/somedirectory/stayout/of/my/shit</a></p>

<h1 class="gamma section-title"><a class="perma-anchor" href="#indenting">§</a> 2.1 Indenting</h1>
</header>
<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>
<p>For the curious, here's a few example sites using the paragraph indentation approach we've chosen for our starter kit…<a href="http://markboulton.co.uk">Mark Boulton</a>, <a href="http://nicewebtype.com">Nice Web Type</a>, <a href="http://andy-logic.com">Andy Rutledge</a> and <a href="http://artequalswork.com">Nathan Ford</a> just to name a few.</p>

<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>

<p>Small caps help to make abbreviations way easier to read, but won’t stand out from the text. We highly suggest this bit of typographic flare with your content. True small capitals are now possible on the web, <a href="http://blog.hypsometry.com/articles/true-small-capitals-with-font-face" rel="external">but alas, they are still difficult</a> and will also depend on the typeface in use.

We also harness the power of the <code>%placeholder</code> in Sass allowing like minded selectors to string together this shared property in a DRY way from one single declaration. Copy and paste the Sass below into <a href="http://codepen.io/pen" rel="external">Codepen</a> and check out the output for yourself. Hint: create multiple classes.</p>

<p>The blockquote element represents a section that is being quoted from another source. Good blockquotes should include a citation, but one is not required.

<header>
<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="typl8-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">
<pre class="language-markup"><code><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></code></pre>
</figure>
<h3 class="typl8-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="typl8-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">
<pre class="language-markup"><code><dl class="typl8-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></code></pre>
</figure>
<h3 class="typl8-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="typl8-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>
</dl>
</figure>
<figure class="typeplate-code-block">
<pre class="language-markup"><code><dl class="typl8-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>
