Grid
The basic grid system consists of a 12-column grid. To employ it simply wrap the columns in a div with class of pl-row
.
Add a class to each column associated with the amount of columns of 12 you've like it to take.
Platform includes a simple responsive grid system that includes multiple break points depending on the classes used.
.pl-col-lg-
Breaks at 1200px.pl-col-sm-
Breaks at 768px.pl-col-xs-
Doesn't break, even on small resolutions
The following grid will have 4 columns on large screens, 3 columns on smaller screens and 2 columbs on mobile.
