# display

> Sets `display: inline-block`.

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

Sets `display: inline-block`.

## Quick reference

Every documented call, beside the CSS it emits.

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

## Examples

### Basic example

Use `inlineBlock()` to keep an element in the line of text while it keeps its own box, so padding and size apply and it never splits across lines:

```tsx
<div mix={[is(96), ...]}>
	Press <div mix={[inlineBlock(), ...]}>inlineBlock()</div> to keep a box whole inside
	a sentence, then <div mix={[inlineBlock(), ...]}>save</div> when you are done.
</div>
```

## Applying on a state

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

```ts
u.hover(u.inlineBlock())
```

## Responsive design

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

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

## Signature

```ts
u.inlineBlock()
```
