Cards

Basic container styles for creating basic cards including a link card component.

Examples (anchor)

The cards expect the existence of basic reset styles for font styling and typography properties. The typography style module provides this but the styles should work with any reset/normalize document used.

Default (anchor)

Card title

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog followed by the five boxing wizards jumping quickly.

Link card

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog followed by the five boxing wizards jumping quickly.

Examples HTML

<div class="card">
  <h2>Card title</h2>
  <p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog followed by the five boxing wizards jumping quickly.</p>
  <a href="#">Link to action</a>
</div>

<div class="card-link">
  <h2>Link card</h2>
  <p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog followed by the five boxing wizards jumping quickly.</p>
  <a href="#">Link to action</a>
</div>
