Modals

Modal popups, with great power comes great responsibility. Please use modals wisely.

Basic Modal

Your basic modal has a variety of elements to it. .c-overlay will expand to fill the current space, more information on overlays is available.

The modal body it self consists of cards, providing you with a consistent way of building structured content. Please familiarise yourself with what is possible with cards to make full use of modals.

Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen.
