✨ wml::des::space(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the wml::des::space page from section 3 of the manual, and it's literally all about Layout Space 💜 like, the whole vibe is "make gaps on purpose, on purpose" and honestly? iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

wml::des::space — Layout Space 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#use wml::des::space

<space [width=X] [height=Y]>

<hspace X>

<vspace Y>

<over X>
</over>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

These are high-level layouting tags for preserving whitespace, and they're built on top of the "<imgdot>" tag from wml::des::imgdot(3). So like, the way it works is you use them whenever you want to create whitespace on a webpage. no cap, that's the entire job. 💅

  • "<space" ["width="X] ["height="Y]">" — this one creates a 1pt transparent dot-image and then resizes it to size X times Y in points, so the effect you end up with is a rectangular white area of size XxY. it's giving "invisible but make it structural" 🫶
  • "<hspace" X">" — creates a horizontal line, i.e. a rectangular area of size Xx1. short, wide, horizontal, slaying ✨
  • "<vspace" Y">" — creates a vertical line, i.e. a rectangular area of size 1xY. tall, thin, standing up, also slaying 🌈
  • "<over" X">"..."</over>" — this pushs over the contained body X pixels to the right. so whatever you wrap in it? moved over. X pixels. to the right. periodt 👑
