## What you'll build

Worksheet 3A of *Seedlings Science*, an invented series for eight-year-olds, on four 200 × 260 mm pages printed on one side. A leaf-green band carries a yellow unit pill, the title and white fields for name and date; beside it, a pea plant in a white disc has its six parts numbered in yellow. Every activity is a numbered heading over a pale green card. The cards hold white answer boxes with a small grey prompt and room for several lines, word banks of yellow chips, outlined blanks inside sentences, a table of foods to match with plant parts and a checklist of circles to colour. Each answer box sits 2 mm under its question and 5 mm above what follows, and every card ends 9 mm above whatever comes next on its page. The text is set in Andika, which SIL designed for children learning to read.

**This recipe answers:**

- How do I nest answer boxes inside activity cards with exact spacing, and add word banks and blanks?
- How do I build a worksheet page: fill-in lines, answer boxes, word banks, checklists?
- How do I make inline chips: keyboard keys, tags, word banks for exercises?
- How do I put pictures or icons inside table cells?

## The short answer

Cards that hold white answer boxes, stacked exactly, off the grid.

```js
// script.js, lines 24–56
// In the Markdown a box inside a box is a fence inside a fence (each ::: closes one):
//   :::callout{type="card"}
//   What is inside the pea pods?
//   :::callout{type="answer"}
//   Write here               ← a prompt first: a box of :::space alone collapses
//   :::space{lines=3}           (gotcha: space-dropped-box-top)
//   :::
//   :::
const [ASK, AFTER, HEAD, NEXT] = [2, 5, 3, 9]; // mm: question→box, box→next, heading→card
const card = {
  id: 'card', background: col('tint'), borderRadius: mm(4),
  padding: { top: mm(4), right: mm(5), bottom: mm(5), left: mm(5) },
  marginTop: mm(HEAD), marginBottom: mm(NEXT), // NEXT: under a card, to whatever follows
  // Off the grid, or what follows a card drops to the next grid line. Only the outer card can
  // set it: a nested box ignores snapToGrid, span and placement (gotcha: nested-callout-limits).
  snapToGrid: false,
  body: { paragraphSpacing: false }, // the boxes' margins do all the spacing
  lists: { bulletChar: '', // no bullet: in the checklist a circle chip opens each item
    gap: mm(2), itemSpacing: pt(7) }, columnGap: mm(6),
};
// A nested box's margins collapse with its neighbours', the larger winning (ASK, AFTER); the
// last box's marginBottom falls inside the card's padding instead of adding to it.
const nested = (id, look) => ({ id, background: col('paper'), borderRadius: mm(2.5),
  marginTop: mm(ASK), marginBottom: mm(AFTER), ...look });
const answer = nested('answer', { border: { enabled: true, color: col('rule'), width: pt(0.75) },
  padding: { top: mm(1.6), right: mm(3), bottom: mm(2), left: mm(3) },
  // A small grey prompt on a full 17 pt line; :::space counts in these body lines.
  body: { fontFamily: LABEL, fontSize: pt(8), color: col('muted') } });
const bank = nested('bank', { title: t({ en: 'Word bank', es: 'Banco de palabras' }),
  padding: { top: mm(2.2), right: mm(3), bottom: mm(2.4), left: mm(3) },
  titleStyle: { fontFamily: LABEL, fontSize: pt(7.5), fontWeight: 600, color: col('leaf'),
    textTransform: 'uppercase', letterSpacing: pt(1.3), gap: mm(1.6) } });
// config() plugs in all three: calloutStyles: [card, answer, bank].
```

## Ingredients

**Teaches**

- [Nested boxes](https://postext.dev/en/docs/configuration.md#the-callout-container): A callout inside a callout, each with its own style, stacked at exact spacing: worksheet cards with answer boxes.
- [Leaving the grid on purpose](https://postext.dev/en/docs/architecture.md#grid-breaking-elements): Headings, paragraph styles and stacked boxes can keep exact spacing off the grid; the text after them snaps back to it.
- [Inline chips](https://postext.dev/en/docs/configuration.md#chip-styles): Rounded boxes around words that wrap as one unit and never stretch: keycaps, tags, word banks, syllables.

## Method

### 1 · Take the headings off the grid as well

```js
// script.js, lines 158–166
  headings: { fontFamily: DISPLAY, snapToGrid: false, // or what follows snaps back to the grid
    balancing: { enabled: false }, // no extra space above headings to fill out a page
    levels: [
      // Restated: any headings object drops the H1 break (gotcha: headings-drop-h1-break).
      { level: 1, span: 'page', breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity: 'any' },
        marginTop: pt(0), marginBottom: pt(0), advancedDesign: opener() },
      { level: 2, numberingTemplate: '{2}', marginTop: mm(0), marginBottom: mm(0),
        advancedDesign: activity },
    ] },
```

In the short answer, each box's margins collapse with its neighbours' and the larger one wins. A word bank's 5 mm beat the 2 mm above the list under it, and the last answer box's 5 mm fall inside the card's 5 mm bottom padding instead of adding to it. Left on the grid, a level-2 heading reserves between 10.8 and 14.1 mm instead of its disc's 8.6 mm, because what follows it snaps back to the next 17 pt line; `headings.snapToGrid: false` keeps it at 8.6 mm. Setting `snapToGrid` on the nested styles changes nothing, because only the outer card can leave the grid ([nested boxes](/en/docs/configuration#the-callout-container)). Column balancing is off because it adds space above headings to fill out a page; on page 2 it would put 33 mm above activity 3 instead of 9.

### 2 · Make every blank a chip

```js
// script.js, lines 60–74
const chip = (id, fill, look) => ({ id, fontFamily: LABEL, background: col(fill),
  borderWidth: pt(0), borderColor: col('leaf'), borderRadius: em(1), ...look });
// An empty chip holds a U+2060 word joiner, as one of spaces prints its markup (gotcha:
// empty-chip). Its box is a band 1.25 em tall, so paddingX ROUND makes it a circle.
const [EMPTY, ROUND, OUTLINE] = ['\u2060', em(0.625), pt(0.9)];
// A blank is all padding, 2 × paddingX wide and 19.6 pt tall: taller than the 17 pt line, so
// the card's itemSpacing sets its items 24 pt apart (gotcha: chip-overlap).
const blank = (id, width) => chip(id, 'paper', { borderWidth: OUTLINE, borderRadius: mm(1.4),
  paddingX: mm(width / 2), paddingY: em(0.12), fontSize: em(1.15) });
const chipStyles = [
  chip('word', 'sun', { bold: true, paddingX: em(0.6), paddingY: em(0.08), gap: em(0.45) }),
  blank('blank', 34), blank('wide', 38), // mm: in a sentence; alone in a column
  chip('dot', 'leaf', { paddingX: ROUND, fontSize: em(0.6) }),
  chip('tick', 'paper', { borderWidth: OUTLINE, paddingX: ROUND, fontSize: em(1.1), gap: em(0.5) }),
];
```

A chip is an unbreakable box in the line, and its padding is painted beyond the line without making the line taller. A word bank is a row of chips in a nested `bank` box. The blanks, the dots to join and the circles to colour are chips too, each holding only a U+2060 word joiner, because in postext 1.4.1 a chip of spaces prints its markup ([inline chips](/en/docs/document-format#inline-chips)). `paddingX` sets the width: a blank is 34 mm wide in a sentence and 38 mm alone in a column, and a circle gets half its 1.25 em height on each side. In the checklist the circle stands where the bullet would be (`bulletChar: ''`). At 19.6 pt, a blank is taller than the 17 pt line, which is why each one has a list item to itself, 24 pt from the next. In 1.4.1 the Sandbox still shows the warning “Chips touch the next line” for `blank`, `wide` and `tick`, because it compares each chip with the 17 pt line pitch and leaves out the 7 pt between list items.

### 3 · Number the activities with a heading design

```js
// script.js, lines 78–92
const DISC_H2 = 8.6; // mm: the disc and the title are this tall, so the heading reserves this
const numberDisc = { kind: 'text', id: 'num', content: '{number}', // numberingTemplate '{2}'
  fontFamily: DISPLAY, fontSize: pt(15), fontWeight: 800, color: col('paper'),
  box: { backgroundColor: col('leaf'), borderRadius: mm(DISC_H2 / 2) }, // centred both ways
  placement: { anchor: { to: 'container', edge: 'top-left' },
    size: { width: mm(DISC_H2), height: mm(DISC_H2) } } };
const activityTitle = { kind: 'text', id: 'title', content: '{titleText}',
  fontFamily: DISPLAY, fontSize: pt(17), fontWeight: 700, color: col('ink'), align: 'left',
  overflow: 'wrap', placement: { anchor: { to: '#num', edge: 'right-of' },
    offset: { x: mm(3) }, size: { width: mm(140), height: mm(DISC_H2) } } };
const activity = { enabled: true, slot: { elements: [numberDisc, activityTitle] } };
// ## How did I do? {style="review"} is not an activity: it has no number and a star for a disc.
const review = { id: 'review', numbered: false, advancedDesign: { ...activity, slot: {
  elements: [{ kind: 'image', id: 'num', resourceId: 'star', placement: numberDisc.placement },
    activityTitle] } } };
```

A level-2 heading with an `advancedDesign` keeps its place in the column, and the design is drawn instead of its text: a disc holding `{number}`, which prints the level's `numberingTemplate`, and `{titleText}` to its right ([span and advanced design](/en/docs/configuration#span-and-advanced-design)). The disc and the title are both 8.6 mm tall, and off the grid the heading reserves exactly that, so the design needs no `minHeight`. Because the numbers come from the level-2 counter, an activity inserted in the Markdown renumbers the ones after it. The self-check heading uses a style with `numbered: false`, which leaves it out of the count, and an SVG star sits where the disc would be.

### 4 · Put the pictures in the table's cells

```js
// script.js, lines 128–144
const tableStyles = [{ id: 'match', borderRadius: mm(3), // no header row, so no header fill
  headerBackgroundEnabled: false, bodyBackgroundEnabled: true, bodyBackground: col('paper'),
  bodyFontFamily: LABEL, bodyFontSize: pt(13), bodyColor: col('ink'), cellPadding: mm(1.4),
  // White rules on the white panel: unseen, but they hide the canvas's seams between cells.
  rules: 'grid', borderColor: col('paper'), borderWidth: pt(1) }];
const cell = (content, extra) => ({ content, verticalAlign: 'middle', ...extra });
const dotCell = () => cell(`:chip[${EMPTY}]{style="dot"}`, { align: 'center' });
const matchRow = (icon, food, part) => [cell('', { image: { resourceId: icon, width: 0.76 },
  align: 'center' }), cell(food), dotCell(), cell(''), dotCell(),
cell(`:chip[${part}]{style="word"}`)];
const sheetType = { id: 'sheet', name: 'Worksheet item', shortLabel: '', captionPrefix: '',
  numberingTemplate: '{n}', resetOn: 'never', counterFormat: 'decimal' }; // no caption, no number
// Set 'here' in its card, after a :::space (gotcha: box-embed-no-gap); built once FOODS exist.
const foods = () => ({ id: 'foods', typeId: 'sheet', kind: 'table', createdAt: 0, updatedAt: 0,
  placement: { position: 'here' }, table: { styleId: 'match', model: {
    columnWidths: [0.14, 0.25, 0.06, 0.31, 0.06, 0.18], // the widest gap: room to draw a line
    rows: FOODS.map((name, r) => matchRow(ICONS[r], name, PARTS[r])) } } });
```

`TableCell.image` draws a resource inside its cell, here at 76 % of the cell's width, and the row grows to fit it. `verticalAlign: 'middle'` centres the food's name, the dots and the chip on the picture. The widest column, 31 % of the table, stays empty for the pupil's line. The named style rounds the table's frame and clips the white body fill to it. Its grid rules are white as well: the canvas leaves a faint hairline between filled cells, and a white 1 pt rule on the white panel covers it ([named table styles](/en/docs/configuration#named-table-styles)). Its resource type has an empty `captionPrefix` and the table has no caption text, so no caption prints under it. `placement: { position: 'here' }` sets the table where its `::resource` line stands, inside the card.

## The whole recipe

One file, composed from the recipe's folder with the sample text and the Cookbook's shared kit inlined; it builds its own page. To run it, put it in a `<script type="module">` on an empty page, or paste it into the JS panel of a new CodePen (as a module). It imports postext from esm.sh, so there is nothing to install or build.

# Plants and \\ their parts {unit="Unit 3" sheet="Worksheet 3A"}

:::paragraphs{style="lead"}
Every part of a plant has a job to do. In this worksheet you will name the parts of a pea plant and find out what each one does and which ones we eat. You will need a pencil and some coloured pencils.
:::

## Look closely

:::callout{type="card"}
What is inside the pea pods on the plant at the top of the page?

:::callout{type="answer"}
Write here
:::space{lines=4}
:::

Which part of the plant grows under the ground? Why does the plant need it?

:::callout{type="answer"}
Write here
:::space{lines=6}
:::
:::

## Name the parts

:::callout{type="card"}
Six parts of the pea plant on page 1 have a number. Choose a word from the word bank and write it next to the same number.

:::callout{type="bank"}
:chip[stem]{style="word"} :chip[seeds]{style="word"} :chip[flower]{style="word"} :chip[roots]{style="word"} :chip[leaf]{style="word"} :chip[fruit]{style="word"}
:::

:::columns{count=3}
1. :chip[⁠]{style="wide"}
2. :chip[⁠]{style="wide"}
3. :chip[⁠]{style="wide"}
4. :chip[⁠]{style="wide"}
5. :chip[⁠]{style="wide"}
6. :chip[⁠]{style="wide"}
:::
:::

## What does each part do?

:::callout{type="card"}
Finish each sentence with a word from the word bank.

:::callout{type="bank"}
:chip[food]{style="word"} :chip[insects]{style="word"} :chip[water]{style="word"} :chip[plant]{style="word"} :chip[upright]{style="word"} :chip[seeds]{style="word"}
:::

1. The **roots** hold the plant in the soil and take in :chip[⁠]{style="blank"}.
2. The **stem** keeps the plant :chip[⁠]{style="blank"} and carries water to the leaves.
3. The **leaves** use sunlight to make :chip[⁠]{style="blank"} for the plant.
4. The **flower** has bright petals that attract :chip[⁠]{style="blank"} such as bees.
5. The **fruit** grows around the :chip[⁠]{style="blank"} and keeps them safe.
6. A **seed** can grow into a new :chip[⁠]{style="blank"}.
:::

**Did you know?** A pea plant cannot stand up on its own. It climbs by wrapping thin, curly tendrils around anything it touches.

## Parts we eat

:::callout{type="card"}
We eat many different plant parts. Draw a line from each food to the part of the plant it comes from.

:::space{lines=0.33}
::resource{id="foods"}
:::

## Draw and label

:::callout{type="card"}
Draw a plant you have seen at home or at school. Label at least four of its parts.

:::callout{type="answer"}
My plant is called
:::space{lines=7}
:::
:::

## Try it at home

:::callout{type="card"}
Put a dried pea on some wet cotton wool in a clear jar. Keep the cotton wool damp and look at the pea every day for a week. What do you think will come out of the pea first: a root or a shoot?

:::callout{type="answer"}
I think
:::space{lines=3}
:::

After a week, draw or write what you saw.

:::callout{type="answer"}
I saw
:::space{lines=6}
:::
:::

## How did I do? {style="review"}

:::callout{type="card"}
Colour a circle for each thing you can do.

- :chip[⁠]{style="tick"} I can name the six parts of a plant.
- :chip[⁠]{style="tick"} I can say what each part does.
- :chip[⁠]{style="tick"} I can tell which part of a plant a food comes from.

## Variations

### Put the cards back on the grid

With the default `snapToGrid: true`, whatever follows a card drops to the next 17 pt grid line, and the 9 mm under each card become 14.5 mm under activity 2, 13.2 mm under activity 4 and 11.2 mm under activity 6.

```diff
-  snapToGrid: false,
+  snapToGrid: true,
```

### Give an answer more room

`:::space` counts in the answer box's own 17 pt lines, and each line added gives the pupil 6 mm more to write in.

```diff
 Write here
-:::space{lines=4}
+:::space{lines=6}
```

## Pitfalls

- **:::space is dropped at the top of a box or column.** :::space is dropped at the top of a column, a box or a :::columns group, even when it is the box's only content, so an answer box made of space collapses. Open the box with a title or a prompt line, then add the space.
- **A whitespace-only chip prints its markup.** A chip whose text is only spaces, no-break spaces included, prints :chip[ ] literally. For a blank answer chip put a word joiner (U+2060) inside it.
- **A nested box ignores span, placement and snapToGrid.** A callout nested in another ignores its span, placement, snapToGrid and floatBarrier: it always flows inside its parent, at the parent's inner width.
- **Chips taller than the line pitch touch the next line.** A chip whose box is taller than the line pitch touches the chips on the next line (the chipOverlap warning). Reduce its vertical padding, border or size, or open the leading.
- **A table or figure inside a box gets no space around it.** In postext 1.4.1 a table or figure that ::resource sets at position 'here' inside a :::callout gets none of the space it keeps in the running text: it touches the paragraph above it and the one below. Put a :::space before the ::resource line, and another after it when text follows; a fraction of a line, such as lines=0.33, gives a small gap.
- **An opener's images never count towards the height it reserves.** In postext 1.4.1 an advanced-design heading measures the height it reserves without its images: its texts, rules and boxes count, even when anchored to the page, but an image, such as a picture bled across the head of the page, reserves nothing, so the text can start on top of it. Set minHeight to where the text should begin.
- **Any headings object switches off the H1 page break.** By default an H1 breaks to a recto (always-odd), but passing any headings object resets that default, so chapters run on and span: 'page' does nothing. Restate headings.levels[0].breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity } in every config.
- **Text inside an SVG <img> cannot use web fonts.** An SVG is drawn as an image, and an image has no access to the page's web fonts, so its labels fall back to a system face. Outline the text, embed an @font-face subset in the SVG, or move the labels to the caption.
- **A swapped palette misses design elements and the reference colour.** postext 1.4.1 reads colorPalette into the text styles (body, headings, lists, captions, tables, boxes) but not into the elements of headers, footers, openers and part pages, nor into bodyText.referenceColor: they keep the hex written beside their paletteId. When you swap the palette, for a dark screen edition or a retint, rewrite every linked colour from colorPalette before the build.
- **Only 8 locales hyphenate, by exact code.** Hyphenation ships for en-us, es, fr, de, it, pt, ca and nl, matched exactly: 'es-ES' or any other language silently falls back to American English.
- **A config is cached by identity: build a fresh object.** The engine caches resolved configs by object identity, so changing a config in place and building again reuses the old result. Build a fresh object for every build, which is why a recipe's config is a factory: config().
- **Load every face before layout.** Layout measures text with the faces the browser has loaded and caches the widths, so a face that arrives after the first build leaves wrong line breaks and a PDF that no longer matches the screen. Load every weight and style first, and call clearMeasurementCache() before rebuilding when one arrives late.
- **Layout warning: Chips touch the next line** (`chipOverlap`). A chip style's box is taller than the line pitch, so chips on consecutive lines touch. Fix: Reduce the chip's vertical padding, outline or size, or increase the leading. ([Documentation](https://postext.dev/en/docs/configuration.md#chip-styles))

- In postext 1.4.1 a box cannot rule its own writing lines, because callout styles have no ruled background. The answer boxes stay blank and take their height from `:::space`, and the short fill-in lines are outlined chips.
- A heading style with `numbered: false` still draws its level's design, with `{number}` left empty. Without a design of its own, the self-check would open with an empty green disc, so `review` copies the activity design and puts the star where the disc was.
