Create a horizontal rule by using the <hr> element. The greyish line below each section here in the Typography page is an example.
For quoting multiple lines of content from another source within your document, use the <blockquote> element.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam.
Someone famous
<blockquote>
<p>Quotation</p>
<small>Source</small>
</blockquote>For multiple lines of code, use the <pre> element which defines preformatted text. It creates a new text block that preserves spaces, tabs and line breaks. Nest a <code> element inside to define the code block.
IMPORTANTBe sure to escape any angle brackets in the code for proper rendering.
<pre>
<code>...</code>
</pre>Create an unordered list using the <ul> element and the <ol> element for ordered lists. The <li> element defines the list item.
<ul>
<li>...</li>
<li>...
<ul>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul><ol>
<li>...</li>

Create a description list using the <dl> element. Use <dt> to define the term and <dd> for the description.
<dl>
<dt>...</dt>
<dd>...</dd>
</dl>NOTEYou can also use additional UIkit classes for the description lists. You will find more details here.
You can easily create tables using the <table> element. Use <thead> to define the table headings, <tfoot> to define the table footers and <tbody> to define the table body.
| Table Heading | Table Heading | Table Heading |
|---|---|---|
| Table Footer | Table Footer | Table Footer |
| Table Data | Table Data | Table Data |
| Table Data | Table Data | Table Data |

</tbody>
</table>NOTEYou can also use additional UIkit classes for the tables. You will find more details here.
You can easily create forms that contain different elements like <legend>, <input>, <select>, etc.
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>...</legend>
<input type="text" placeholder="">
<input type="password" placeholder="">
<select>
<option>...</option>

This section shows how you can create different grids layouts with columns and rows.
Gantry5 comes with its own CSS framework called "Nucleus". It is based on the Flexbox model and therefore is really flexible and allows you to build advanced layouts.
<div class="g-grid">
<div class="g-block">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
</div>Gantry5 grid system or better said "Nucleus" grid system does not have a grid gutter, it uses the .g-content class instead.
As you can see in the above example, all 3 blocks are surrounded by empty space. This empty space comes from the .g-content class which adds some margin and padding to the element.
We have added a utility class to the template which takes care of the unnecessary spacing and makes the whole grid looks more natural. The utility class is called .g-gutter.
<div class="g-grid g-gutter">
<div class="g-block">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
</div>"Nucleus" comes with another very useful class called .size-# where # is the percentage of the whole width of the grid a particular element should occupy.
<div class="g-grid g-gutter">
<div class="g-block size-20">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block size-60">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block size-20">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="g-grid g-gutter">
<div class="g-block size-20">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block size-20">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block size-60">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="g-grid g-gutter">
<div class="g-block">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="g-grid g-gutter">
<div class="g-block size-25">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
<div class="g-block size-75">
<div class="g-content">...</div>
</div>
</div>The grid system of UIkit follows the mobile-first approach and accomodates up to 10 grid columns. It uses units with predefined classes inside each grid, which define the column width.
To create the grid container, add the .uk-grid class to a parent element. Add one of the .uk-width-* classes to child elements to determine, how the units shall be sized. The grid supports 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 unit divisions.
.uk-width-1-3
.uk-width-1-3
.uk-width-1-3
.uk-width-1-2
.uk-width-1-2
.uk-width-3-10
.uk-width-7-10
<div class="uk-grid">
<div class="uk-width-1-2">...</div>
<div class="uk-width-1-2">...</div>
</div>NOTEYou can find more information about the UIkit Grid System here.

This section shows how easy it is to use modals.
The modal component consists of an overlay, a dialog and a close button.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
<.uk-modal>
|
Add this class to a <div> element to create the dialog container and an overlay that blanks out the page. It is important to add an id to indicate the element for toggling.
|
<.uk-modal-dialog>
|
Add this class to a child <div> element to create the dialog box.
|
<.uk-modal-close>
|
Add this class to an <a> or <button> element to create a close button within the dialog box. We recommend adding the .uk-close class from the Close component to give the button a proper styling, though you can also use text or an image.
|
You can use any element to toggle a modal dialog. An <a> element needs to be linked to the modal's id. To enable the necessary JavaScript, add the data-uk-modal attribute. If you are using another element, like a button, just add the data-uk-modal="{target:'#ID'}" attribute to target the modal's id.

This section shows how easy it is to create a fancy lightbox for images and videos.
To apply this component, add the data-uk-lightbox attribute to an anchor linking to the image you wish to display. If a title attribute exists it will be displayed as a caption for the lightbox.
<a href="/my-image.jpg" data-uk-lightbox title="">...</a>You can link multiple images to the same lightbox and switch between them from within the lightbox, thus creating a gallery. Just add the {group:'my-group'} option to the data attribute of each item using the same name on all items that you want to group.
<a href="/" data-uk-lightbox="{group:'my-group'}">...</a>A lightbox is not restricted to images. Other media, like videos, can be displayed inside a lightbox and it will automatically generate the correct output by evaluating your path.

This section shows how easy it is to create a nicely looking tooltip.
To create a tooltip, add the data-uk-tooltip attribute to an element. You also need to add a title attribute, whose value will represent your tooltip's text.
<button class="button" data-uk-tooltip title="">...</button>
<span data-uk-tooltip title="">...</span>Add one of the following options to the data-uk-tooltip attribute to adjust the tooltip's alignment.
| Attribute | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
<pos:'top'>
|
Aligns the tooltip to the top. | |
<pos:'top-left'>
|
Aligns the tooltip to the top left. | |
<pos:'top-right'>
|
Aligns the tooltip to the top right. | |
<pos:'bottom'>
|
Aligns the tooltip to the bottom. | |
<pos:'bottom-left'>
|
Aligns the tooltip to the bottom left. | |
<pos:'bottom-right'>
|
Aligns the tooltip to the bottom right. | |
<pos:'left'>
|
Aligns the tooltip to the left. | |
<pos:'right'>
|
Aligns the tooltip to the right. |
<button class="button" data-uk-tooltip="{pos:'bottom-left'}" title="">...</button>NOTEYou can find more details about the tooltip here.
This section shows how easy it is to create a tabbed navigation with different styles.
The Tab component consists of clickable tabs, that are aligned side by side.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
.uk-tab
|
Add this class to a <ul> element to define the Tab component. Use <a> elements as tab items within the list.
|
.uk-active
|
Add this class to a list item to apply an active state. |
.uk-disabled
|
Add this class to a list item to apply a disabled state. |
The data-uk-tab attribute is required for two purposes. Firstly, it enables the responsive behaviour. If the parent container is too small to accomodate all tabs, they will be combined into a dropdown, toggled by a single tab, which represents the active tab item.
And secondly, its functionality is coupled to the Switcher component, which is necessary to dynamically transition through different contents using tabbed navigation.
<ul class="uk-tab" data-uk-tab>
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li class="uk-disabled"><a href="#">...</a></li>
</ul>There are many more options and layouts available for the tabs, for example centered tabs, tabs on the left, tabs on the right, etc. You will find all these details on the UIkit website.
NOTEYou can find more details and options about the lightbox here.
This section shows how easy it is to create a list of items, allowing each item's content to be expanded and collapsed by clicking its header.
To create an Accrodion, add the uk-accordion class and the data-uk-accordion attribute to a container element. Add the uk-accordion-content class to each of the content sections within the container. Finally, add the uk-accordion-title class to any element, like a heading, above the content section to create a toggle.
<div class="uk-accordion" data-uk-accordion>
<h3 class="uk-accordion-title">...</h3>
<div class="uk-accordion-content">...</div>
<h3 class="uk-accordion-title">...</h3>
<div class="uk-accordion-content">...</div>
<h3 class="uk-accordion-title">...</h3>
<div class="uk-accordion-content">...</div>
</div>NOTEYou can find more details and options about the accordion here.
