# display

> Sets `display: block`.

```ts
import { block } from "@sdxc/u/layout";
```

Sets `display: block`.

## Quick reference

Every documented call, beside the CSS it emits.

| Call | CSS |
| --- | --- |
| `u.block()` | `css({ display: "block" })` |

## Examples

### Basic example

Use `block()` to make an element a block box that starts on its own line and fills the width of its parent:

```tsx
<p mix={[maxIs(96), ...]}>
	When an inline span becomes a block,
	<span mix={[block(), ...]}>block()</span>
	it breaks out of the line of text it sat in and stretches across the paragraph.
</p>
```

## Applying on a state

Wrap the call in a state utility to scope it to one selector.

```ts
u.hover(u.block())
```

## Responsive design

Wrap the call in a container query to scope it to one width.

```ts
u.at("md", u.block())
```

## Signature

```ts
u.block()
```
