Code.
Inline code that reads at any size.
Code is a native code element on a soft, token-driven surface. Its size is relative (em), so it scales with surrounding body text or headings.

The finer details
API referenceGenerated from Dixy’s local TypeScript interfaces. Native HTML attributes and refs are forwarded. The table covers Dixy’s own options.

variant | "soft" | "outline" | "ghost"Surface emphasis. | soft |
Built from the same foundations
Styling tokensChange Theme settings above to compare appearance, accent, neutral, radius, spacing density, motion and direction. Override component aliases on a Theme root so custom properties follow portaled content too. The wrapper merges className, style, refs and render composition with its owning primitive.
| Token | Purpose |
|---|---|
--dixy-font-mono | The component-specific starting point. |
--dixy-font-label-md | Control label font and line height; body roles remain readable in text inputs. |
--dixy-color-background-selected | Selected surfaces use semantic color across appearances. |
--dixy-color-border-focus | Focus indication remains visible independently of shadows. |
--dixy-spacing-inset-sm | Density-aware component padding. |
--dixy-motion-transition-feedback | Short state feedback, reduced by the inherited motion setting. |
Consider everyone
AccessibilityNative code has no special announcement in most screen readers; keep the surrounding sentence meaningful. Tinted colors use the action text tokens for contrast. Target WCAG 2.2 AA. Automated axe checks pass in unit tests; screen-reader, forced-colors and contrast verification in real browsers remains pending.
Target: WCAG 2.2 AA. Automated tests cover selected behavior; manual screen-reader, contrast, and zoom validation remain part of the release checklist.
Build it. Then understand it.
Relative units let one component serve many type roles: Code inherits the parent's font size instead of fixing its own.
