Easily clear floats by adding .clearfix to the parent element. Utilizes the micro clearfix as popularized by Nicolas Gallagher. Can also be used as a mixin.

{% highlight html %}

...

{% endhighlight %}

{% highlight scss %} // Mixin itself @mixin clearfix() { &::after { display: block; content: ""; clear: both; } }

// Usage as a mixin .element { @include clearfix; } {% endhighlight %}

The following example shows how the clearfix can be used. Without the clearfix the wrapping div would not span around the buttons which would cause a broken layout.

{% example html %}

Example Button floated left Example Button floated right
