<header> | body-header |
<nav> | body-nav |
<main> | body-main |
<aside> | body-aside |
<footer> | body-footer |
Content-Aware Adaptation
Layouts automatically adapt when elements are missing:
holy-grailwithout<aside>becomes two-columnsidebar-leftwithout<nav>becomes single-column- All layouts collapse to stack on mobile (unless
data-layout-nowrapis set)
Grid Area Override
Use data-layout-area to explicitly assign elements to named areas:
| Value | Use Case |
|---|---|
hero | Hero section on landing pages |
banner | Banner or announcement area |
sidebar | Generic sidebar area |
content | Main content area |
feature | Feature section |
cta | Call-to-action section |
toc | Table of contents |
Named areas are used with the landing page template which defines grid rows for hero, feature, and cta. See the Grid Identity page for details and the landing page demo.
