Warp 5 Typography

You can create some beautiful content by using some simple HTML elements. The Warp theme framework offers some neat styles for all HTML elements and a great set of CSS classes to style your content. Basic HTML is very easy to learn and this small guide shows you how to use all styles provided by the Warp framework.

Basic HTML Elements

Links, Rel Tags and Readmore Buttons

Here is a short demonstration of text-level semanticts. The <p> element creates a new paragraph. It will have some space before and after itself. To turn your text into hypertext just use the <a> element. You can also add a "rel" tag for a style - like a lightbox.

Example:

<a href="http://www.themicrotechs.com/warp-65-typography.html" rel="lightbox">My Link Text</a>

My Link Text

You can also call up a system class to generate a nice button that matches your template for each of your links, using the "readmore" class.

Example:

<a href="http://www.themicrotechs.com/warp-65-typography.html" class="readmore">My Button</a>

My Button


Text-Level Semantics

You can emphasize text using the <em> element or to imply any extra importance the <strong> element. Highlight text with no semantic meaning using the <mark> element. Markup document changes like inserted or deleted text with the <del> element or <ins> element. To define an abbreviation use the <abbr> element and to define a definition term use the <dfn> element.

List Styles

To create a list, bullet-points or otherwise, simply open the html editor and type <ul> followed by any style class if desired. Then enter each line item with <li> My Text </li> and closing with </ul>

Example:

<ul class="links">
<li>List Item Line One</li>
<li>List Item Line Two</li>
</ul>

Inline Styles

Default <a> tag
<a> with class="icon-folder"
<a> with class="icon-file"
<a> with class="icon-download"
<a> with class="icon-external"
<a> with class="icon-pdf"

  • <ul> with class="arrow"
  • <ul> with class="star"
  • <ul> with class="check"

  2. Lorem ipsum dolor
  3. Lorem ipsum dolor
  1. <ol> tag with class="disc"

Quotations and Code

Inline quotations can be defined by using the <q> element.

The <blockquote> element defines a long quotation which also creates a new block by inserting white space before and after the blockquote element.

To define a short inline computer code use the <code> element. For a larger code snippet use the <pre> element which defines preformatted text. It creates a new text block which preserves both spaces and line breaks.

pre {
    margin: 15px 0;
    padding: 10px;
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 18px;
    white-space: pre-wrap;
}
Use the <small> element for side comments and small print.

Useful CSS Classes

Here is a short demonstration of all style related CSS classes provided by the Warp framework.

Highlight Content

Drop caps are the first letter of a paragraph which are displayed bigger than the rest of the text. You can create a drop cap using the CSS class dropcap. To emphasize text with some small boxes use <em> element with the CSS class box.

This simple box is intended to group large parts of your content using the CSS class box-content.
This is a simple box to highlight some text using the CSS class box-note.
This is a simple box with useful information using the CSS class box-info.
This is a simple box with important notes and warnings using the CSS class box-warning.
This is a simple box with additional hints using the CSS class box-hint.
This is a simple box with download information using the CSS class box-download.

Type <hr> to create a horizontal rule.

Use <hr class="dotted"/> to create a dotted horizontal rule.

Insets and Floating

With YooTheme tempaltes, you can either use traditional html or take advantage of some quick-and-easy presets. For example, you can still float an image to the left,  with text wrapping around it using the traditional method: <img src="/images/yourimage.jpg" style="float: right">

To control the size, add the alt tags and title, it would look like this: <img src="/images/yourimage.jpg" style="float:left" height="110" width="81" alt="CSS3" title="CSS3"/>

 

Combine Tags with class "inset-right" or "inset-left". Example: <span class=" info inset-right width25">.Ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
