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 .clearfix() { &:before, &:after { content: " "; display: table; } &:after { 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.
