JavaScript files in src/js
-
main.jsincludes the 'fix image height' script that resizes images so they fit into grid
Note: resizing the images with this JavaScript is optional. Images that aren't resized break the grid but the vertical rhythm isn't affected.
File: _gutenberg-config.scss
Disables or enables the toggle baseline grid button.
$edit-mode: true; // [ true / false ] - Enables/disables the grid toggle button.Choose from 2 default themes or go for the custom option.
$theme: Merriweather; // [ Merriweather / OpenSans / custom ]
$custom-font-body: null !default; // [ "Libre Baskerville", Georgia, serif ]
$custom-font-headings: null !default;You need to provide a custom font stack if you go for the custom option: "Libre Baskerville", Georgia, serif
New since 1.1 update. Paragraphs have no breaks between them but the first line of a paragraph following another paragraph is indented.

$base-font-size: 100 !default;
$base-font-size-desktop: 112.5 !default;
$line-height: 1.625;
$line-height-desktop: 1.7;
$max-width: 35;$base-font-size and $base-font-size-desktop must be set in percentages. They will be converted to pixels and REMs in later calculations.
$line-height and $line-height-desktop must be set in decimal numbers.
$max-width must be set in a full number that will be converted to pixels and REMs.
Calculation example for mobile sizes:
$base: 16 * ($base-font-size / 100);
$leading: round($base * $line-height);
$leading-rem: $leading / $base;Note: $leading number gets rounded because different browsers treat decimal pixels differently. You should configure Sass to round numbers to 15 decimals to get the best results with Gutenberg. If not, some sizes might seem to break the baseline grid.
A collection of sizes based on Modular Scale by Tim Brown. Only used as a guide for now. A possibility to change modular sizes is planned for future releases.

) !default;Numbers from left to right are: font-size, line-height, margin-top, margin-bottom.
File: /src/style/modules/_horizontal-rule.scss
Horizontal rule comes in two styles: line and type. General settings for horizontal rule are $hr-margin (for mobile), $hr-mobile-desktop (can match $hr-margin if no difference for desktop screens required) and $hr-color.
$hr-style: type; // [ line / type ]
$hr-type-content: '***'; // [ '***' ]
$hr-type-char-spacing: 0.2em; // [ 0.2em ]
$hr-margin: 2;
$hr-margin-desktop: $hr-margin;
$hr-color: $color-font-body;
$hr-width: 100; // [ 100 ] — In pixels, only for line style
$hr-height: 4; // [ 2 ] — In pixels, only for line styleThe line style can be configured by width and height, both set in pixels. The type style variables include $hr-type-content (characters) and $hr-type-char-spacing (spacing between the characters).

Gutenberg has some classes that work very well with elements like figures, quotes and headings.
.floatLeft // Floats the element to the left
.floatCenter // Centers the element by setting the left and right margins to auto
.floatRight // Floats the element to the right
.alignLeft // Aligns text to the left
.alignCenter // Centers the text
.alignRight // Aligns text to the rightNew since 1.1 update. Usually used as an intro of the text. Makes the text slightly bigger than body text which results in a nice contrast.
An example of an attention grabber at the beginning of the article.
<p class="attention-grabber">
An Essay on Typography by Eric Gill takes the reader back to the year 1930. The year when a conflict between two worlds came to its term.
</p>Figures can be floated with the .floatLeft or .floatRight classes. Floated figures are pushed outside of text content on desktop screens but not on mobile.
<figure class="floatLeft">
<img src="image.jpg" alt="image">
<figcaption>Image description</figcaption>
</figure>
An example of a figure with .floatLeft class applied.
Blockquotes are indented, font-size is slightly smaller than body text and in italics.
Correct semantic HTML code for blockquotes:
<blockquote>
<p>It is a press, certainly, but a press from which shall flow in inexhaustible streams… Through it, god will spread his word.</p>

New since 1.1 update. Quotes that are also figures are bigger and can be floated with .floatLeft or floatRight classes.
HTML code for quotes:
<figure>
<blockquote>
<p>It is a press, certainly, but a press from which shall flow in inexhaustible streams… Through it, god will spread his word.</p>
<footer>
<cite>—Johannes Gutenberg</cite>
</footer>
</blockquote>
