Ratio

The ratio helper keeps a box at a fixed aspect ratio whatever its width, which is perfect for media placeholders, thumbnails, galleries and banners. Pick ratio-1x1, ratio-4x3, ratio-16x9 or ratio-21x9, or set any ratio with the --ui-aspect-ratio variable.

20Loading skeleton

A 16:9 placeholder block with placeholder-glow while the real image and text load.

The skeleton reserves the exact space, so the page does not jump when content arrives.
