Taking it out lets the article sit centred in the 2972 viewport instead of pushed right, which is most of what made the old 2973 layout feel unlike the mockups. 2974 2975 The rail markup still renders; it is hidden here rather than deleted, 2976 so switching the preview off restores it. Section G deletes it for 2977 real once this is signed off. 2978 2979 GEOMETRY 2980 700 main + 104 gutter + 272 aside = 1076, centred. Prose is then 2981 capped at 60ch INSIDE the 700, so paragraphs run about 62 characters 2982 and the remaining width becomes breathing room. Figures, tables, the 2983 brief box and the ad slots keep the full 700 and break past the prose 2984 cap, which is what gives the column its rhythm. 2985 2986 Several rules below carry !important. That is not laziness: section 9 2987 of Additional CSS sets flex on .content-area and .rm-aside with 2988 !important inside a min-width:1200px query, and source order alone 2989 does not beat it. 2990 ==================================================================== */ 2991 2992/* ---- the rail ---- */ 2993 2994.single .rm-railcol{ display:none !important; } 2995 2996/* ---- the shell ---- */ 2997 2998@media(min-width:1000px){ 2999 3000 .single .site-content{ 3001 display:flex;

The redesign markup carries 5863 style="display:none" inline, and RM Styles â which only loads for 5864 previewers â overrides it with !important and hides the live one 5865 instead. That keeps the admin-bar toggle working in both directions 5866 and means a normal visitor sees exactly what they see today. 5867 5868 AT LAUNCH: delete every element marked "LIVE ONLY" below, and remove 5869 the inline display:none from the two marked "REDESIGN". --> 5870 5871<header class="rm-header"> 5872 <div class="rm-head-wrap"> 5873 5874 <!-- LIVE ONLY --> 5875 <a class="rm-logo rm-logo-old" href="/">

7960<script> tags. No-ops on pages with no article content. 7961 7962 Changed from the previous version: 7963 - The "align the sidebar with the first paragraph" block is gone. It wrote 7964 an inline margin-top onto .rm-aside, which beat the stylesheet and left 7965 the sidebar sitting well below the rail. Alignment is CSS now. 7966 - The heading is set here rather than being relabelled in CSS, so the real 7967 text in the DOM matches what is on screen. 7968 - Active-section tracking uses viewport position instead of offsetTop, 7969 which was wrong once the header became sticky, and is throttled to a 7970 frame instead of running on every scroll event. 7971 - The lightbox now binds to images inside a figure only. It used to bind 7972 to every img in the content, which would have included an ad creative 7973 if one had loaded before this ran. Because the handler calls 7974 preventDefault, that would have opened the ad in a lightbox instead of 7975 sending the reader to the advertiser. Ads currently arrive after this 7976 script, so it was never happening; the narrower selector removes the 7977 possibility rather than relying on load order staying the way it is. */ 7978(function () { 7979 7980 /* Articles only.
