How to use

Plain four column grid

In the example below we create a grid with 4 columns. On mobile/small devices it switches to two columns.

 <div data-columns="4" data-mobile-columns="2">
	<div class="column">
		<div> Column 1 </div>
	</div>
	<div class="column">
		<div> Column 2 </div>
	</div>
	<div class="column">
		<div> Column 3 </div>
	</div>
	<div class="column">
		<div> Column 4 </div>
	</div>
</div>

Nesting columns

 <div data-columns="2" data-mobile-columns="1">
	<div class="column">
		<div data-columns="4" data-mobile-columns="2">
			<div class="column">
				<div>1</div>
			</div>
			<div class="column">
				<div>2</div>
			</div>
			<div class="column">
				<div>3</div>
			</div>
			<div class="column">
				<div>4</div>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

How does it work?

The Macolumn Culkin grid system is a grid system based on three factors:

• A SASS loop creating a fixed amount of available columns. It's up to you how many you want - just change the $maxColumns value in the _macolumnculkin.scss file.
  
• The gutter is the padding inside the .column divs (thanks to the border-box model). Nested columns get half the gutter to align vertically with the parent columns.

Why?

• Because inline-blocks are so much awesomer than floats.
• Because you don't wanna have to install a grid system through a command line and then have to learn a new syntax to be able to use it.
• Because we all can agree that numbers means more than words
• Because Macaulay Culkin wanted a better grid system.
