Headings

Headings are used to illustrate the typographic hierarchy of a page. h1 defines the most important heading and h6 the least.

Body text

Chi's default font size is 14px (0.875rem) and is intended to maximize screen real estate in dense, app oriented interfaces.

Inline text

Styles for common inline text elements. Styles can be defined as tags <code> or classes .chi-code.

Code

Inline code

Code tags are used to wrap inline snippets of code.

This <code>&lt;code&gt;</code> will render as inline code.

Code blocks

Pre tags are used to wrap multiple lines of code.

<p>This code will render as a code block.</p>

<pre>
  <code>&lt;p&gt;This code will render as a code block.&lt;/p&gt;</code>
</pre>

</ul>
