Headlines - Breaking for Sense
April 29, 2024
Elements to Bold for Enhanced Web Design
Headlines that are two or three lines deep can create a tricky problem -- line breaks, or the place where one line ends and another begins. Avoid bad breaks caused by dangling verbs, adjectives or propositions. Review all heads and subheads and to make manual line "breaks for sense." Breaking for sense means breaking a line where one might logically pause when reading it aloud.
When breaking for sense, strive to:
- Keep important phrases together
- Avoid hyphenations
- Break a line after punctuation
- Pair adjectives with their nouns
- Keep proper names together
- Group color and typestyles together

In this section, you’ll learn how to control the size of elements using different types of units in Editor 2.0. We’ll break down how viewport width (vw) and height (vh) respond to the browser window, how the auto unit allows containers to resize based on their content, and how min/max values help you keep your elements within practical size limits. Together, these tools give you greater control over how your site adapts across devices—without relying on fixed pixel values.
Flexbox is the foundation for how columns behave in Editor 2.0. It controls how elements stack, align, and space themselves inside containers, giving you full control over layout across different screen sizes. By adjusting properties like stacking direction, content alignment, and wrap, you can create clean, organized designs that adapt smoothly to any device. These features help prevent layout issues, make better use of space, and simplify how you manage rows and individual elements. Learning how to use Flexbox effectively leads to faster builds and more consistent, responsive websites.
Understanding layout elements and the Layers Panel is key to building clean, responsive websites. Layout elements help you control structure—how widgets are grouped, how content stacks, and how different parts of the page respond across breakpoints. The Layers Panel gives you a clear view of that structure, making it easier to manage complex sections, find hidden elements, and keep your layout organized. Together, these tools let you build with more precision, troubleshoot faster, and maintain consistency across the entire site.
Breakpoints are specific screen widths where your website layout shifts to fit different devices, like phones, tablets, and desktops. They’re a key part of responsive design, allowing you to adjust styles so your site looks and works well on any screen. In the editor, you can see how styles behave at each breakpoint, apply universal styles, and override them when needed. You can also preview your site at different screen sizes to make sure everything looks right.
