## Quick Reference

## Spacing Scale

Tailwind CSS v4.1 uses a configurable spacing scale where `--spacing` is the base unit (default: 0.25rem/4px).

| Class | Value |
|-------|-------|
| 0 | 0 |
| px | 1px |
| 0.5 | calc(var(--spacing) * 2) = 0.5rem |
| 1 | calc(var(--spacing) * 4) = 1rem |
| 2 | calc(var(--spacing) * 8) = 2rem |
| 3 | calc(var(--spacing) * 12) = 3rem |
| 4 | calc(var(--spacing) * 16) = 4rem |
| 6 | calc(var(--spacing) * 24) = 6rem |
| 8 | calc(var(--spacing) * 32) = 8rem |
| 12 | calc(var(--spacing) * 48) = 12rem |
| 16 | calc(var(--spacing) * 64) = 16rem |

## Common Patterns

### Centered Container
```html
<div class="mx-auto">Centered content</div>
```

### Card with Padding
```html
<div class="p-6 bg-white rounded-lg shadow">Card content</div>
```

### Flex Items with Spacing
```html
<div class="flex space-x-4">
  <div>Item 1</div>
  <div>Item 2</div>
  <div>Item 3</div>
</div>
```

### Stack with Vertical Spacing
```html
<div class="space-y-4">
  <p>Paragraph 1</p>
  <p>Paragraph 2</p>
  <p>Paragraph 3</p>
</div>
```
