Emmet-like utility classes for rapid and easy front-end development.

Example

See emma.css (all classes)

Emma.css only:

<article class="cf">
  <img class="d-b fl-l w-a mr-xl bdrs3" src="foo.png">
  <div class="fl-l ml-lg p-md">
    <h1 class="m0 ff-t">Title</h1>
    <p class="wow-bw wfsm-a">Description</p>
    <a class="d-ib fz-sm lh2" href="#">Read more</a>
  </div>
</article>

SUIT CSS naming convention + Emma.css (set prefix u-):

<article class="Excerpt u-cf">
  <img class="Excerpt-thumbnail u-d-b u-fl-l u-w-a" src="foo.png">
  <div class="u-fl-l u-ml-lg u-p-md">
    <h1 class="Excerpt-title">Title</h1>
    <p class="u-wow-bw u-wfsm-a">Description</p>
    <a class="Excerpt-readMore" href="#">Read more</a>
  </div>
</article>
