IBM Plex is great. Literally massive: the font has a ton of glyphs which makes it an ideal choice for international scripts (Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Cyrillic, Thai...) and this blows up the download size. Try subsetting it to the language and script you need to not waste visitors bandwidth and mobile data plans.

@@IllllIIllllI Plex is a variable font, but that's not the point. It has thousands of characters (glyphs) which makes this font file huge, even as a woff2 format.

@@CirTap being variable absolutely matters. For example, Jetbrains Mono is only 39kb for the whole 100..800 weight range (latin subset). Browsers are smart enough to download only subsets that are needed thanks to unicode-range, so the Greek symbols are never downloaded

One thing I've always wondered is how you organize big CSS/SCSS files. When I start making larger CSS files with more and more specific selectors, the more cluttered and randomized the file gets. How do you neaten your CSS files to be more navigable?
@axelBr1 Жыл бұрын
I order mine alphabetically by html tag, (although I do group closely related tags, e.g. list and list items) and use multiple CSS files, with each file for a particular feature or style, especially if it's only used in a limited number of pages.
@santhanam2855 Жыл бұрын
I am not so good at gauging the correct CSS organization from the get-go. So I use VSCode's "go to symbol" feature of the command palette which works on CSS files. And html as well. So the workflow is like "ctrl+p index.html ctrl+shift+o article.wra" to go to the HTML, and then the same thing in the CSS file. If two related css selectors are in different places in the file, alt + left/right moves you back and forth in the same file. Then before committing I re-order it to make sense for the webpage so it's easier for others.

Why not use a flexbox oriented vertically and setting `gap: 1em`? That flow space is nice but looks so alien :)
@ThePulseProducer Жыл бұрын
While this does the trick and can probably work for most designs, the space between the elements will always be 1rem with this approach. Depending on the company/designer you are working with, they will not want equal spacing and instead want spacing that is more appropriate depending on the elements used. Ex: headings will have more space above them than paragraphs/list elements. That is where Kevin's example is better, but really it depends on the use case. If the flex/grid gap spacing works for your needs then there is not a huge reason to change it.

Browser support for print media has always been mediocre and will likely be forever. They focus on screen rendering. "Prince XML" is probably the best (commercial) tool for the job with excellent CSS print support. Despite its name it supports HTML5. Results are also rendered to PDF .

@@user-mma173 then all you can do is bug the browser makers to add better support for print and push features to be included in Interop 24 (or 25, 26). Paged media layouts are just a pita, 'cos you can't actually control what's on a page. You'd be much better off with sth like Affinity Publisher. If it's essential to you job, maybe convince your boss/IT department to allow Prince XML anyway (on a sandboxed environment) . It's an established professional application and likely causes less harm than surfing the web with a browser or using MS Office...😇

I worked in print for years, but never touched CSS for it 😅. I much prefer page layout tools for print stuff, though I do realize sometimes print styles are required for some types of projects. There's a print book (which is escaping me at the moment), that I've read that was fully written in HTML and CSS... so it's not that it isn't possible, but like CirTap mentioned, it's not great either, lol. I'll see if I can find anyone with more experience than me to pick their brain.

Hi Kevin, I write you because I want to share a technique I use often and I want your opinion about it. I often found myself having this structure when I want a full-screen bg image with content: div_wrapper_for_the_image div_container heading paragraph [...] I found a technique (Maybe it is already used I don't know) using the padding as a virtual container. What I do is this: .contain_in_x { padding-inline: max(calc((full_width - contained_in_x_width) / 2), min_padding_n, ...); } So I can have only one div and the padding with virtualize ( Sort of) the second one. For example, if I want to contain in a 1440px virtual container, I can do: .c_in_1440 { padding-inline: max(calc((100vw - 1440px) / 2), 4rem, 2rem); } By doing so the padding-inline with be calculated to have what's inside at 1440px max regardless of the viewport size as long as we don't reach the 1440px threshold, otherwise, it will switch to the other values. What do you think?

@ThePulseProducer Жыл бұрын
I think he forgot to touch on it. But using margin-bottom will also add margin to the last paragraph/element in the article, which is undesirable. This can be offset by updating the selector to .flow > *:not(:last-child), but from what I've seen his method is more common practice.
