dekugrid -- multiple implementations of the Deco Grid System by Tobias Bengfort tobias.bengfort@gmx.net based on deco.gs by Alexander Limi http://limi.net/deco.gs Placed in the Public Domain.

Decogrid is a simple, small and flexible grid system. The base technique used in Deco is something that is documented in the article Faux Absolute Positioning at A List Apart. Deco is just a system that applies that method to the notion of a CSS grid system. Dekugrid (note the 'ku') in turn is just a system to generate decogrids using CSS preprocessors (currently SASS and LESS).

Why would you want to use it? Because you need an unusual number of columns (the original decogrid provides 12 and 16) or want to configure the margin between columns (the original decogrid provides 2.08333% and 0%).

Just set the appropriate values for $cols and $margin and the preprocessor will do all the math. In addition you get mixins to use in your existing classes.

Dekugrids is designed as a drop-in replacement for decogrid. However you can set a $prefix for the generated CSS classes (e.g. 'deco-') to avoid naming collisions.
