This page collects together all the styles used on this site. It serves as a reference for me when I’m writing and adding different themes, and helps me clarify approaches for InContext.

Code

There are many different ways to style code with GitHub’s markdown. If you have inline code blocks, wrap them in backticks: var example = true. If you’ve got a longer block of code, you can indent with four spaces:

if (isAwesome){
  return true
}

GitHub also supports something called code fencing, which allows for multiple lines without indentation:

if (isAwesome){
  return true
}

And if you’d like to use syntax highlighting, include the language:

if (isAwesome){
  return true
}

Horizontal rule


Lists

Unordered

  • Item 1

Semantic HTML

Custom Styles

There are a number CSS classes that can be used and relied upon in within content.

img.invert

Images will be inverted when displayed in dark mode. This is great for things like sketches (as exported from Notes).

<img class="invert" src="sketch.png" />

p.caption

<p class="caption">Yaktocat</p>

Yaktocat

.low-priority

Images in containers with the low-priority class will be fully desaturated (grayscale(100%)) and will fully saturate on hover. This is intended to make lower priority items such as archived apps and hardware projects less visually prominent.

<div class="low-priority">
    <img src="https://octodex.github.com/images/yaktocat.png">
</div>

Float

Inline floating images and elements can be achieved with the float, left, and right classes.

<div class="float right">
  <img src="https://octodex.github.com/images/yaktocat.png">
</div>

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse finibus porttitor mauris nec pretium. Proin bibendum pretium nisi at sollicitudin. Nunc interdum nisl eu dignissim suscipit. Nam commodo scelerisque sagittis. Etiam tempus at nisl id ultricies. Cras vel sagittis risus. Proin fermentum at diam vitae fringilla. Donec tristique eget purus ut ultricies.

Grids

Content can be organized into grids with equal width columns using the grid class on a container:

<div class="grid prefer-3-columns dense">
  <img src="issue-21-cover.png" />
  <img src="issue-22-cover.png" />
  <img src="issue-24-cover.png" />
</div>

Traits can be modified with the following additional CSS classes:

  • prefer-5-columns—never exceed 5 columns
  • prefer-4-columns—never exceed 4 columns
  • prefer-3-columns—never exceed 3 columns
  • prefer-2-columns—never exceed 2 columns
  • dense—minimal spacing between items
  • sparse—generous spacing between items

For example, the above code would generate the following:

Symbol Links

Links can be annotated with named symbols which are used to select theme-appropriate icons. Use both the symbol class, and the class of the required symbol. For example,

<a class="symbol computer">Computers</a>

Will display a suitably styled GitHub link:

Computers

The following conceptual symbols are available:

There are also some navigational symbols:

Tilt Extensions

incontext provides Tilt extensions which can be used to add functionality.

Panorama

![Panorama of my office](office.jpeg)

Gallery

{% extensions.gallery("images") %}

The site includes a number of template fragments that are intended to be used directly within Markdown content.

Video

Video files can be included in one of two ways.

Using a Tilt extension:

{% extensions.video("turtle.mov") %}

Using a Markdown image tag:

![Video description here](turtle.mov)

Audio

Audio files are not currently supported as top-level media format in InContext, meaning they can only be rendered using a Tilt extension:

{% extensions.audio("rincewind.mp3") %}

Showcase

Showcase renders a media grid of posts matching a tag.

For example,

{% extensions.showcase("wallpaper") %}

Tagged Posts

{% extensions.tagged("elsewhere") %}

Custom Tags

Location

Locations are supported through custom tags:

<x-map latitude="35.671336"
       longitude="139.702941"
       title="Harajuku Station" />

latitude and longitude are required. title is optional.

Named Location

Anonymous Location

Multiple Locations

Multiple locations can be specified using the additional x-location tag. For example,

<x-map>
    <x-location latitude="35.671336"
                longitude="139.702941">
        Harajuku Station
    </x-location>
    <x-location latitude="37.766655"
                longitude="-122.418129">
        1515 15th St
    </x-location>
</x-map>

The contents of the x-location tag will be used as the title for the location label.

Harajuku Station 1515 15th St

Controls

Controls can be enabled by adding the controls attribute (though Apple Maps may choose not to display these if the map is too small). For example,

<x-map class="large" controls>
    <x-location latitude="35.671336"
                longitude="139.702941">
        Harajuku Station
    </x-location>
    <x-location latitude="37.766655"
                longitude="-122.418129">
        1515 15th St
    </x-location>
</x-map>
