Examples
Basic example
Use maxHeight(n) to cap an element's height, and pair it with overflowY("auto") to scroll whatever does not fit:
Margins, padding and sizes in this package follow the writing mode, so a layout written once reads correctly in every language. A card padded on its inline start keeps that padding where a sentence begins, whichever side of the screen that is, and the same holds for a list, a sidebar or a toolbar.
<div mix={[maxHeight(32), is(72), overflowY("auto"), ...]}>
<p mix={[...]}>

</p>
</div>Content shorter than the cap
A maximum only limits: an element shorter than maxHeight(24) keeps its own height, and one asking for more stops at the cap:
<div mix={[hstack({ gap: 4, align: "start" })]}>
<div mix={[maxHeight(24), height(12), width(40), ...]}>height(12)</div>
<div mix={[maxHeight(24), height(48), width(40), ...]}>height(48)</div>
</div>Applying on a state
Wrap the call in a state utility to scope it to one selector.
u.hover(u.maxHeight("full"))Responsive design
Wrap the call in a container query to scope it to one width.

Customizing spacing
Every numeric step multiplies --ui-spacing, so redefining it rescales every spacing and sizing utility at once:
:root {
--ui-spacing: 0.25rem;
}Every call that names the step now reads the new value:
maxHeight(4)Signature
u.maxHeight(value: SizeValue)
