/* ================================================================
RAMSDEN METALS — Global Stylesheet v1.6
DEPLOY VIA CHILD THEME (cacheable, versioned) — not the Custom CSS box.
----------------------------------------------------------------
FILE LAYOUT (in your Hello Elementor CHILD theme):
/assets/ramsden-global.css ← this file
/fonts/spectral-400.woff2 … spectral-700.woff2
/fonts/dm-sans-300.woff2 … dm-sans-600.woff2
SETUP
1. Put this file in the child theme's /assets/ folder and the woff2
files in /fonts/ (get them from https://gwfh.mranftl.com, charset
latin; rename to the simple names above).
2. Paste ramsden-functions-snippet.php at the END of the child
theme's functions.php. It enqueues this file (auto-versioned),
preloads the two key weights, and disables Elementor's Google
Fonts. No font and no Custom CSS paste needed.
3. Reveal animations: add the IntersectionObserver script (Elementor
→ Custom Code → End of ) OR enqueue it from the child theme.
4. Content width: Site Settings → Layout → Content Width → 1240px.
5. Forms: add rm-form (light) or rm-form-dark (dark) to a Form
widget's Advanced → CSS Classes field.
CHANGES FROM v1.1
• Fonts self-hosted (no Google round trip). @font-face below.
• Switched to child-theme enqueue (was: Custom CSS box).
• v1.5 — News system: .rm-prose (post body, light + dark), .rm-news-bg
(full-page background), .rm-posts (archive cards), and single-post
classes (.rm-post-cat / .rm-post-title / .rm-post-featured).
The Back to News button is a separate HTML/CSS widget.

.rm-prose (Post Content styling)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Styles raw text/blocks dropped into the WordPress editor so a
single post's Post Content matches the site — no per-post work.
HOW TO USE
1. Append this block to ramsden-global.css (→ v1.5) and re-deploy.
2. Post Content widget → Advanced → CSS Classes → add: rm-prose
3. Set the content container to ~700–760px once, in the template.
LIGHT vs DARK
- Default = light background (dark text).
- For the dark news pages, either add "rm-prose-dark" alongside
"rm-prose" on the Post Content widget, OR simply place the
article inside a .rm-news-bg container — the dark variant then
applies automatically. Colours are driven by the --pr-* tokens
below, so the dark block only re-points those tokens.
