# layout.marker

Outlines the element an inspector points at, drawn over the page at its position, with its text.marker above. data-mode="outline" draws only a faint dashed outline, for every intent at once

Component: [`<Layout>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/layout.md) · Renders: `<div>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Layout intent="layout.marker">
  …
</Layout>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| Outlines the element an inspector points at, drawn over the page at its position, with its text.marker above. data-mode="outline" draws only a faint dashed outline, for every intent at once | `layout.marker` (this page) |
| A box around content | [`layout.panel`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/panel.md) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How layout.marker resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.

- [`arrange.stack`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#arrange-stack) — Children in a column, free to shrink inside a row or grid

  ```
  flex min-w-0 flex-col
  ```

- `layout.marker` (this page) — Outlines the element an inspector points at, drawn over the page at its position, with its text.marker above. data-mode="outline" draws only a faint dashed outline, for every intent at once

  ```
  group pointer-events-none absolute z-20 bg-info/[0.06] ring-1
  ring-info/70 data-[mode=outline]:bg-transparent
  data-[mode=outline]:ring-0 data-[mode=outline]:outline-1
  data-[mode=outline]:outline-dashed
  data-[mode=outline]:outline-info/35
  ```
