I am experimenting with a new website using RW & Foundry as my platform. A lot of these concepts are still pretty new to me so I apologize if my questions seem boneheaded.
My current protocol is to create a new stacks page then populate it with two partials:
“Foundry” and "NavBar (with sticky navigation). I then create a container and put everything inside the container.
At this point I load in some columns and populate those with Site Images and Paragraph Pro. I use Site Images because I understand it will eliminate resource redundancy at the server. I use Paragraph Pro because I like how they handle “Read More”. I also make use of a really great stack by William Woodgate called LinkBox.
Up until this point all the text that is rendered on my site is whatever shows up when I start typing. I haven’t mastered any kind of styling yet.
Mostly what I need right now is some way to style various size headings.
So I have watched the Mason video several times. I am intrigued by the various font combination stacks. I like how when you employ one of the combinations it creates aesthetically pleasing pairings for the various size text.
Can this feature work with just various heading sizes that may or may not be affiliated with the other template stacks? Could I use just this part of the Mason gizmo?
What happens after the various templates have been unpacked? Can the Font Combination stacks find the various size headings and still modify them in aesthetically pleasing unified combinations?
Mason doesn’t really have anything to do with what you’re trying to do. Mason is just pre-built sections of content. All of the styling is still done by the Foundry stacks. The Foundry Header stack and the Typeface stack are what you want to look at I suspect, if I’m understanding your post correctly. You can check out their existing documentation and tutorial videos on the Foundry site, which I’ll link you to below.
The Typeface stack allows you to apply fonts to your page and the Header stack will allow you to style the headers on your page (size, font, etc). Give those a look. That said, if you have further questions on this topic, create a new thread for me on the forum, as I think this topic you’re wanting to discuss is only tangentially related to the current thread above.
I upgraded to Foundation 6 when it came out and tried it. I had used Foundation 1 for quite awhile, and then thought I would try out Foundry a few years ago. It is a more intuitive framework, though Foundation v 1 wasn’t so bad. There is a HUGE learning curve with Foundation 6 and it was taking me tons of hours just to get a fairly simple webpage made. There were not a lot of tutorials out then. I just went back to using Foundry and then when version 2 came out, it has proved to be a great upgrade. Adam and this forum are great tools for information and help.
