Page Layouts

The column control component can be used to create a variety of layouts to suit your content. Margins and padding styles can add more space and layouts for mobile and tablet screen sizes can be customized. For more information about creating different layouts in the AEM templates, refer to the design guidance.

Ruled Lines

Ruled lines are generally used as part of the design to create a division between components or to break up sections of content in multiple columns.

 Design Guidelines

Use ruled lines to divide content into sections to make your page more visually appealing, and to break up types of information.

  • Always apply a ruled line between column control sections instead of below individual text boxes to line up sections.
  • To apply a ruled line, add a new column control component where you would like it to appear and add the class "ruled" or "ruled-thin" and then add margin above and below the line.

  • For thick line - "Ruled margin-bottom margin-top"
  • For thin lines - "Ruled-thin margin-bottom margin-top"
  • Consider how a ruled line will behave on mobile. When applied between column control components, it will divide sections of content on mobile.

Ruled line - Ruled margin-top margin-bottom - is placed in a separate column control component between other columns
Thick ruled line - placed between intro section and content section

Important

We recommend the following to maintain consistency across SFU websites:

  • The thicker (ruled, ruled-below) line is to be placed between an intro section and sub content section, or to divide different topics on the same page
  • The thinner (ruled-thin, ruled-below-thin) line is to be placed between content of the same kind or sub content below the intro section

Thick ruled line separates intro content, and thin ruled line separates content of the same kind
