Spacing Usage Fluid spacing scale up or down based on the size of the viewing device or browser window in a predefined range. This is in contrast to using static spacing, which is set using a specific pixel value and does not scale. Do: Use the fluid spacers to ensure a smooth and proportional scaling of space between elements, groups, and sections that are aligned with the fluid typography and grid. Use "m" as the default space value since it corresponds to the grid-gap. Use values from "xs" to "l" for distances within a container, such as between heading, text, and buttons, or for spacing and grouping of form fields. Use values from "l" to "xxl" for spacing between sections on a page. Don't: Only use the static spacers when needed (e.g. within custom components). Don't use values outside the recommended range for specific types of spacing. Don't change the fluid spacer manually based on different viewports.
