                <h1>The Box Model</h1>
<p>The box model refers to how an element is spaced on the page. How much room is around it? Or around its content? This is what the box model is about.</p> 
<p>There are a few different components in the box model, which are shown below. Interact with them to learn more about each one!</p>
<p>To fully interact with the site, you'll need to use Chrome (or Firefox if you enable the dialog element).</p>

/**
 * Dialogr events

dialogr(marginContainer, {
  content: `<h2>Margin</h2>
<p>This is the space around the element, and outside of any defined borders. It can be set with any of the following properties:</p>
<pre>margin: "value";
margin-top: "value";
margin-right: "value";
margin-bottom: "value";
margin-left: "value";</pre>
<p>Here are the values that can be used with margins:</p>
<pre>'auto': let the browser take care of it!
'inherit': get a value from the parent element.
'number': this would be a number in px, inches, a percent, etc.
</pre>
<p>Couple notes. First, negative values work! Second, if you set the width of a container, the margin isn't included in that, so be careful.</p>

});
dialogr(borderContainer, {
  content: `<h2>Border</h2>
<p>Set a border around an element, with a specific color, size, and type. It can be set either for the entirety of the element, OR for an individual side. Here's how you can set the border (or just an individual aspect of the border:</p>
<pre>
border: 'size' 'type' 'color';
border-width: 'size';
border-style: 'type';
border-color: 'color';
</pre>
<p>It's also possible to set a border radius to give your elements rounded corners! This is done with the 'border-radius' property.</p>

});
dialogr(paddingContainer, {
  content: `<h2>Padding</h2>
<p>This is spacing in between the element's border and its content. The values it accepts are the same as the margin property, accept for 'auto'. That doesn't really work with padding. Here's how to set padding:</p>
<pre>padding: "value";
padding-top: "value";
padding-right: "value";
padding-bottom: "value";
padding-left: "value";</pre>
<p>Quick tip: depending on how your element's <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_box-sizing.asp" target="_blank">box sizing</a> is set, your padding may or may not be included in the element's width. Also, an elements background extends over it's padding.</p>

});
dialogr(contentContainer, {
  content: `<h2>Content</h2><p>This is your actual content: any text or child elements. When you set width & height for an element, this is what your setting it for (unless you took a look at that 'box-sizing' property).</p>`
});
