<dfnid="dfn-bluelib">Bluelib</dfn> is a modular <i>CSS</i> library for web pages which aims to provide <b>great customization</b> and <b>flexibility</b> while trying to keep <b>HTML as "basic" as possible</b>.
</p>
<p>
This page itself acts both as a <b>documentation</b> of the library and as a <b>live preview</b> of its capabilities.
</p>
<p>
If you're on a browser which supports that, you can right click any element of this page and then click <kbd>Inspect Element</kbd> to see how something is done.
</p>
<divclass="panel parenthesis float-bottom">
<p>
This page is also used for development, therefore it uses un-minified sources and imports some development scripts.
</p>
<p>
Do not try to determine the performance of Bluelib from this page, as the development features are somewhat heavy on the browser!

A Bluelib <dfnid="dfn-target">target</dfn> is a CSS document where CSS rulesets of a certain type are grouped together.
</p>
<p>
It is composed by two parts: the <dfnid="dfn-ruleset">ruleset</dfn>, determining the CSS rules to use, and the <dfnid="dfn-selectorset">selectorset</dfn>, determining the elements to apply the CSS rules on.
</p>
<hr/>
<p>
<i>Targets</i> always have a predictable name, which is:
By running <code>dist/_build.sh</code>, new targets are generated and compiled from <ahref="https://lesscss.org/">Less</a> to CSS.
</p>
<p>
The <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_product">cartesian product</a> is applied between all <i>rulesets</i> in <code>src/rulesets</code> and all <i>selectorsets</i> in <code>src/selectorsets</code>, compiling a new target for each pair.

All selectors use class names, allowing the usage of the target with <ahref="https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules">CSS Modules</a>. Useful for React or similar web app projects.

Installation and usage
</h2>
<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-unpkg">
<h3>
Via UNPKG
</h3>
<p>
The easiest way to use Bluelib on your website is by using <ahref="https://unpkg.com/">UNPKG</a>.
</p>
<p>
Simply link the stylesheets in the header of your project like this:
A <dfnid="dfn-panel">Panel</dfn> is a <b>container</b> styled with a <b>slight background color</b> and no borders.
</p>
<divclass="panel float-bottom">
Hello world! I am a Panel!
</div>
</section>
<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-box">
<h3>
Box
</h3>
<p>
A <dfnid="dfn-box">Box</dfn> is a <b>container</b> adding <b>borders of all four sides</b> to the base appearence of a Panel.
</p>
<divclass="panel box float-bottom">
This Box contains a hidden Snake. <spanstyle="display: none;">🐍</span>
</div>

<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-dialog">
<h3>
Dialog

<p>
A <dfnid="dfn-dialog">Dialog</dfn> is a <b>container</b> adding a <b>left border</b> to the base appearence of a Panel.

<blockquoteclass="panel dialog float-bottom">

<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-parenthesis">
<h3>
Parenthesis

<p>
A <dfnid="dfn-parenthesis">Parenthesis</dfn> is a <b>container</b> styled as a Panel and with smaller text.

</div>
</section>
<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-when-panel">
<h3>
Panel usage
</h3>
<p>
When using Bluelib, text should always be either an <b>header</b> or <b>inside a <i>Panel</i></b>.
</p>
<p>
Since <i>Panels</i> often denote "sections" of text, they should usually be <b><code><section></code> elements</b>.
</p>
<p>
When they are only used cosmetically, <b><code><div></code> elements</b> should be used instead.
</p>
<p>
When used to create forms, they may also be <b><code><form></code> elements</b>.
</p>
</section>
<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-when-box">
<h3>
Box usage
</h3>
<p>
A <i>Box</i> creates a visible <b>separation</b> between the <b>content inside it</b> and the <b>content outside it</b>, and should be used when this separation is desired, like when <b>describing a topic</b> (like here).
</p>
<p>
To achieve the best visual style, <i>Boxes</i> should always be the outmost panels: you should <b><em>never</em> place a <i>Box</i> inside a Panel or a Dialog</b>, but you can place one inside another <i>Box</i>.
</p>
</section>
<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-when-dialog">
<h3>
Dialog usage
</h3>
<p>
A <i>Dialog</i> creates a visible <b>indentation</b> of the <b>content inside it</b>, and should be used when this indentation is desired, like in <b>quotes</b> or <b>examples</b>.
</p>
<p>
When containing a quote, they should use <b><code><blockquote></code> elements</b>.
</p>
<p>
Like Boxes, <i>Dialogs</i> should <b><em>never</em></b> be placed <b>into containers with less borders</b> than them, such as Panels.
A <i>Parenthesis</i><b>removes importance from its contents</b>, and therefore makes for a great container for notes or additional information about a topic.
</p>
<p>
Having no borders, they should be considered as Panels when placing them: never add Boxes or Dialogs inside them.

<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-nesting">
<h3>
Nesting
</h3>
<p>
As you have seen in the sections before, panels can be <b>nested</b> many times (until the text becomes undistinguishable)!
A <dfnid="dfn-chapter">chapter</dfn> is a grouping of an heading and multiple panels containing tightly related information.
</p>
<p>
They split their children into a preset amount of columns: this one, for example, splits panels <b>into two columns</b>.
</p>
<p>
The maximum number of columns in a chapter is 9; beyond that, you'll need to write your own chapter code.
</p>
</section>
<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-panelheights">
<h3>
Panel heights
</h3>
<p>
In a chapter, all panels on a row <b>inherit the height of the tallest panel in it</b>, so that no empty space is left.
</p>
</section>
<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-float">
<h3>
Element floats
</h3>
<p>
A <dfnid="dfn-float">float</dfn> is a utility class to align items in panels without having to write CSS.
</p>
<pclass="float-bottom">
For example, if a panel has some empty space, elements can be made to <b>float to the bottom</b>, which can be useful for example for buttons in sibling panels.
</p>
</section>
<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-autowrap">
<h3>
Auto-wrapping
</h3>
<p>
Panels in a numbered chapter will <b>automatically wrap</b> if their contents won't fit horizontally.
</p>
<p>
Wrapped panels' heights ignore the height of panels in other rows.
</p>
<pclass="float-bottom">
To have a constant height, one has to be set manually.
</p>

<sectionclass="panel box"id="panel-autosizing">
<h3>
Auto-sizing

Panels in a "zero" chapter will instead <b>automatically resize</b> to fit everything in a single row.

Mark

A <dfnid="dfn-separator-light">light separator</dfn> is a <b>less eye-catching separator</b>, to be used if the regular separator distracts too much from the flow of the text.
A <dfnid="dfn-separator-heavy">heavy separator</dfn> is a <b>very eye-catching separator</b>, to be used if the regular separator isn't apparent enough.

A <dfnid="dfn-table">table</dfn> is an element whose children are aligned in a grid.

A <dfnid="dfn-multiselect">Multiselect</dfn> is an <i>Input</i> which allows the user to <b>enable or disable multiple options</b>.
</p>
<p>
Be aware that the average user will probably not know how to interact with the <i>Multiselect</i>: to select options not adjacent to each other on a desktop browser, it requires holding the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key.
<dfnid="dfn-radio">Radios</dfn> are <i>Input</i>s which, like a <i>Select</i>, allow the user to select between <b>one of multiple options</b> when grouped together.
<dfnid="dfn-checkbox">Checkboxes</dfn> are <i>Input</i>s which, like a <i>Multiselect</i>, allows the user to <b>enable or disable multiple options</b> when grouped together.
