Minimal Padding (padding-minimal)

Defines the smallest possible padding for the theme. It defaults to 1px. You can specify any single valid size, such as 3px, 1rem, or 0.1em.

Base Font Size (font-size-base)

Defines the base font size for the theme. Any values that use root em units (rem) for size are relative to this value. The default is 16px. This value must be defined in px.

This value is set as the font size in the root html element and for the site menu in mobile view.

For more information, see font-size in the MDN documentation

Small Font Size (font-size-small)

Defines the small font size for the theme. The default is 0.75rem, which is defined by the value of the font-size-base variable. This value must be defined in rem.

This value is used for the text in the table of contents.

For more information, see font-size in the MDN documentation.

Medium Font Size (font-size-medium)

Defines the medium font size for the theme. The default is 0.875rem, which is defined by the value of the font-size-base variable. This value must be defined in rem.

This value is used for the text in the site menu, page footers, and buttons.

For more information, see font-size in the MDN documentation.

Full Font Size (font-size-full)

Defines the full font size for the theme. The default is 1rem, which is defined by the value of the font-size-base variable. This value must be defined in rem.

This value isn’t used by the theme directly, but provides a shorthand way for you to override inheritied font sizes back to the default.

For more information, see font-size in the MDN documentation.

Body Font Weight (body-font-weight)

Defines the base font weight for all body text. The default is normal, which is the same as 400. For more information, see font-weight in the MDN documentation.

This value isn’t used by the theme directly, but provides a shorthand way for you to override inheritied font sizes back to the default.

Minimum Body Width (body-min-width)

Defines the minimum width of the body container for the theme. The default is 20rem, which is defined by the value of the font-size-base variable.

This value is used to set the min-width value for the the body element, the platen-page container, and columns.

While this variable can be set to any valid length, we recommend you use rem to keep it relative to the base font size.

For more information on valid values, see length in the MDN documentation.

Maximum Container Width (container-max-width)

Defines the maximum width of containers for the theme. The default is 80rem, which is defined by the value of the font-size-base variable.

This value is used to set the max-width value for the the container class, which the theme adds to the main element, and as the size boundary for the wide view.

While this variable can be set to any valid length, we recommend you use rem to keep it relative to the base font size.

For more information on valid values, see length in the MDN documentation.

Header Height (header-height)

Defines the height for header elements in the theme. The default is 3.5rem, which is defined by the value of the font-size-base variable.

This value isn’t directly used by the theme but provides a shorthand for shortcode authors and theme developers to use in their own work.

While this variable can be set to any valid length, we recommend you use rem to keep it relative to the base font size.

For more information on valid values, see length in the MDN documentation.

Menu Width (menu-width)

Defines the width of the site menu. The default is 16rem, which is defined by the value of the font-size-base variable.

While this variable can be set to any valid length, we recommend you use rem to keep it relative to the base font size.

For more information on valid values, see length in the MDN documentation.

Table of Contents Width (toc-width)

Defines the width of the table of contents. The default is 16rem, which is defined by the value of the font-size-base variable.

While this variable can be set to any valid length, we recommend you use rem to keep it relative to the base font size.

For more information on valid values, see length in the MDN documentation.
