Basics

Any time you want to change a font-size, line-height, padding, or margin, use Rhythm instead:

p {
  @include font-size(18px);
}

h2 {
  @include line-height($h2, 2); // Double the computed line height for font-size `h2`
}

h1 {
  @include padding(2 0 1); // Double top padding, no side padding, and single line-height bottom padding
}

ul {
  @include margin(1); // Single line-height margin size around entire element
}
