Below is a minimal style guide for this site, inspired in part by Chen Hui Jing’s Style Guide and the Poor Man’s Style Guide. The color palette isn’t currently included but in the meantime it’s pretty close to the one I used for the first version of this site. I’m also not currently using any form elements.

Table of Contents

• Headings
• Block elements
• Images
• Code
• Lists
• Table

All headings within content pages have anchors. The site is currently only using h1-h4.

Here’s some example text with h1.

Here’s some example text with h2.

Here’s some example text with h3.

Here’s some example text with h4.

Here’s an example of a blockquote. — Dana Byerly

All images use figure and picture elements.

Here’s an example of paragraph text that is long enough to show line-height. Here is an example of a link that goes back to the homepage. And here is an example of bold text.

Here’s an example of mentioning code, like <figure> or display: flex within paragraph text.

/* CSS */
.wrapper-content {
  max-width: 45rem;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

<!-- HTML -->
<h2 class="promo-article-title">
 <a href="{{ item.url }}">{{ item.data.title }}</a>
</h2>

// JavaScript
config.addFilter("sortByNewest", arr => {
  arr.sort((b, a) => (a.date) > (b.date) ? 1 : -1);
  return arr;
});

2. Dogs
3. Horses

• Cats
• Dogs
• Horses

• Here is a list example with more text to illustrate the line-height and spacing between the bullets.
• In my opinion this nuance is often overlooked, resulting in the same amount of space between lines in a single bullet and between the bullets, making it harder to read.
• Both ordered and unordered list using this spacing.
