Examples

Including borders and padding

Use the box-border utility to include borders and padding in the element's total size:

html
<div class="box-border size-32 border-4 p-4 ..."></div>

Excluding borders and padding

Use the box-content utility to exclude borders and padding from the element's total size:

html
<div class="box-content size-32 border-4 p-4 ..."></div>

Responsive design

Prefix a box-sizing utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

html
<div class="box-content md:box-border ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</div>
