Structure and spacing measurements for accordion | px / rem
Margin right
Accordions have a variable right margin that changes based on its width.
Accordions that are 640px and wider have a margin-right: 25% with the
percentage being based off the width of the container it is placed in. At
smaller widths, the margin-right is a fixed size.
Body copy, including titles, in an accordion always follows the margin-right rules. However, inputs and other components may still expand to the full width of the accordion panel.
| Accordion width | Margin-right | Spacing token |
|---|---|---|
| > 640 | 25% | – |
| 420-640px | 64px / 4rem | $spacing-10 |
| < 420 | 16px / 1rem | $spacing-05 |
