ANNOTATIONS
The artboards below are sized to fit into the graphics rig’s wells. When including ai2html on your page:
1. Wrap the ai2html ejs in a section tag with the classes graphic and snap.
2. To appropriately size the ai2html graphic, add the class that corresponds with the widest artboard you want to show.
CORRESPONDING CLASSES FOR EACH ARTBOARD SIZE:
XL - wider
LG - wide
MD - No class needed, fits directly in the main text well
SM - narrow
XS - narrower
For example, if your widest artboard is the SM artboard (meaning you’re not using the MD, LG or XL artboards), your section tag would include the class ‘narrow’. Like this:
<section class="graphic snap narrow">

The snap class prevents your artboards from scaling between breakpoints. If you want the artboard to constantly resize, you can remove this class. Warning, it may cause text to mis-align from the graphic.
