HTML

<ul m-mr="1vg">
  <li>1</li>
  <li>2</li>
</ul>

Styles

[m-mr~="1vg"] > * + * {
  margin-top: 24px;
}

HTML

<h1 m-fnt="0.5s!" m-tal="ce"></h1>

Styles

[m-fnt~="0.5s"] {
  font-size: 8px !important;
}

[m-tal~="ce"] {
  text-align: center;
}

HTML

<p m-pd="1.25 0.5b!">Text</p>

Styles

[m-pd~="1.25"] {
  padding: 32px;
}

[m-pd~="0.5b!"] {
  padding-bottom: 12px !important;
}

Attribute name format for properties: m-[shorthand name]. Where [shorthand name] is any shorthand name of css property.

m-pd // padding
m-mr // margin
m-tal // text-align

Attribute name format for utilities : m-utils.

m-utils="utils1"
m-utils="utils1 utils2"

General value naming format : [label]. Where [lable] any label that present value.

m-mr="1t" // margin-top: 24px
m-mr="0.5t" // margin-top: 12px
m-mr="-1.5t" // margin-top: -36px
m-mr="0.75t 1b" // margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 24px;

Name format for values with !important flag: [label]!.

m-mr="1t!" // margin-top: 24px !important

• Properties
• Utilites

Each section contain description of helper.

Single value: yes - mean that value of attribute may be only one.

Single value: no - mean that value of attribute may be array of values.

For example, If "single value" is yes, then this construction is wrong: m-di="bl ab", but this is correct: m-di="bl". If "single value" is no, then m-di="bl ab" is correct and this m-di="bl".

Several helpers have special value shorthand format. One of them is [multiplier][param]. Where [multiplier] is number(1, 1.25, 3.5). For calculation value of property just multiply [multiplier] by the base value, where base value by default is 24px. For example, if [multipler] is 0.5, then value will be 0.5 * 24px = 12px, it`s simple. [param] is parameter or side, for example, m-mr="0.5t"(margin-top: 12px), where t is shorthand for top side.

For text value format is [text value shorthand]:[param], for example, auto:t.
