Uniform margins
Use uniform spacing utilities to apply equal margin to all sides of an element. These utilities can change or override default margins, and can be used with a spacing scale from 0-6.
Directional margins
Use directional utilities to apply margin to an individual side, or the X and Y axis of an element. Directional utilities can change or override default margins, and can be used with a spacing scale of 0-6.
Extended vertical margins
The extended scale starts from spacer 7 up to 12. Note: Only the y-axis (mt, mb and my) and its responsive variants are supported.
Center elements
Use mx-autoto center block elements with a set width.
We also provide directional margin auto. mt-auto, mr-auto, mb-auto, ml-auto
Reset margins
Reset margins built into typography elements or other components with m-0, mt-0, mr-0, mb-0, ml-0, mx-0, and my-0.
Responsive margins
All margin utilities can be adjusted per breakpoint using the following formula: m[direction]-[breakpoint]-[spacer]. Each responsive style is applied to the specified breakpoint and up.
Negative margins
You can add negative margins to the top, right, bottom, or left of an item by adding a negative margin utility. The formula for this is: m[direction]-n[spacer], where spacer runs from 1 to 6. This also works responsively, with the following formula: m[direction]-[breakpoint]-n[spacer].
Extended negative margins
You can use the extended spacing scale for top and bottom margins, ranging from 1 to 12.
