    Layout

    A CSS layout system designed for one-dimensional layouts, distributing space among items in rows or columns.

  • Placeholder

    Design

    Temporary content indicating where final content will appear, helping visualize layouts before content is ready. Placeholders can be lorem ipsum text, gray boxes, or sample images. Replace placeholders with real content before launch—they can accidentally go live.
