Vertical composition (line-height, top and bottom box properties of all elements except body. Abbreviated or withheld from first-generation CSS agents (IE3, NS4) when "safety" feature is engaged.)

pentatonic a (so called because intervals are derived loosely from interleaved major and minor pentatonic (6-step) musical scales, where 1em is unison and 2em the octave. The header type modules also borrow their intervals from this scheme.)

pentatonic b (generous leading, no inter-block space, for use with indented horizontal composition module)

pentatonic c close (less generous leading, no inter-block space, for use with indented horizontal composition module)

none

Horizontal composition (alignment, indent, and left and right box properties of all elements except body. Abbreviated or withheld from first-generation CSS agents (IE3, NS4) when "safety" feature is engaged.)

compact

inset (inset blocks, outdented heads)

indents (paragraphs are indented by amount of line-height in "pentatonic a" v-comp module. Use "initial" or one of the "thematic break" (stb, mtb, ltb) classes to suppress indent.)

fibonacci (heads 1-4 are staggered in a Fibonacci sequence, text blocks are inset)

prop indents (paragraphs are indented 1/9th of their width.)

none
