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

Sets `display: contents`, removing the host element's own box so its
children participate directly in the parent's layout.

## Quick reference

Every documented call, beside the CSS it emits.

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

## Examples

### Basic example

Use `contents()` to remove an element's own box, so its children lay out as children of its parent:

```tsx
<div mix={[flex(), gap(4)]}>
	<div mix={[...]}>01</div>
	<div mix={[contents(), ...]}>
		<div mix={[...]}>02</div>
		<div mix={[...]}>03</div>
	</div>
	<div mix={[...]}>04</div>
</div>
```

## Applying on a state

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

```ts
u.hover(u.contents())
```

## Responsive design

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

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

## Signature

```ts
u.contents()
```
