Fylgja Media Card
A media card pairs an image with text in one surface, ideal for a featured post or
banner. It builds on the Card: the image goes in a <picture>
and the text in a .card-content block, and md:flex lays them side by side once
there is room.

</article>Usage
- Put the media (a
<picture>or<img>) as a direct child of the card, and the text in a<div class="card-content">. With a.card-contentpresent, Fylgja moves the padding there so the media bleeds to the card edges. - Add
md:flexto the card andflex-noneto the media so they sit side by side on wider screens and stack on small ones. object-coverkeeps the image filling its box;line-clamptrims long text.
Accessibility
- Give the image a descriptive
alt. - Use a real heading inside
.card-contentso the card appears in the outline.
FAQ
Why does the image bleed to the edges here but not on a plain card?
Fylgja moves the padding onto .card-content when a card contains one, so any media outside it sits flush to the card edges. A plain card without a .card-content pads its own content instead.
