# Inline Image Text

> A large sentence with small pictures set in its lines, at letter height. Lines rise from their mask and each picture opens as its line lands. Sized in em; a muted loop works too.

## Files

The code below, served as files: byte for byte what the Kodza site copies (the CSS includes its theme guard).

- [`kodza-inline-image-text.css`](https://kodza.dev/registry/inline-image-text/kodza-inline-image-text.css) · 7.0 KB
- [`kodza-inline-image-text.js`](https://kodza.dev/registry/inline-image-text/kodza-inline-image-text.js) · 14.5 KB
- [`kodza-inline-image-text.html`](https://kodza.dev/registry/inline-image-text/kodza-inline-image-text.html) · 0.9 KB · the markup, to adapt and paste into your page

**Can you run shell commands? Download the CSS and the JS, don't retype them.** Retyping costs thousands of tokens and can drop or change lines of the CSS. Put the files where your stack expects them (Use it says where: change the `-o` paths):

```bash
curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o kodza/kodza-inline-image-text.css https://kodza.dev/registry/inline-image-text/kodza-inline-image-text.css
curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o kodza/kodza-inline-image-text.js https://kodza.dev/registry/inline-image-text/kodza-inline-image-text.js
```

Then load the files from your page as Use it shows, instead of pasting the content. The HTML is the part you adapt (text, links, modifiers): paste it from the Code section. Copy the CSS and the JS from the Code section only if you can't run commands, exactly as they are. (Windows PowerShell: `curl.exe`.)

## API

- Root: `.kodza-inline-image-text`
- Element: put the root class on the page's own paragraph or heading. It keeps the page's font, size and layout; the component only adds its effect.
- Variables (set them on the root element itself: it declares its own defaults):
  - `--kz-inline-image-text-width: 2em`
  - `--kz-inline-image-text-height: 0.9em`
  - `--kz-inline-image-text-radius: calc(0.26em * var(--kz-radius-scale, 1))`
  - `--kz-inline-image-text-gap: 0.06em` — on each side, on top of the spaces
  - `--kz-inline-image-text-offset: -0.08em` — below the baseline, to sit centred on the letters
  - `--kz-inline-image-text-duration: 0.9s`
  - `--kz-inline-image-text-stagger: 90ms`
  - `--kz-inline-image-text-zoom: 1.14`
  - `--kz-inline-image-text-ease: cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)`
- Lifecycle: `kodza:init` / `kodza:destroy` on `document`, with `{ detail: { root } }` to target a container.

## Images

The shape of each image slot, measured in the demo at 1440 × 900 (desktop) and 390 × 844 (mobile). Where the shape is fixed, the frame crops the image to it: export in that shape, keep the subject near the centre, at twice the widest size shown (sharp on retina screens).

| Slot | Desktop | Mobile | Widest shown |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `.kodza-inline-image-text__media img` | 2.24:1 | 2.22:1 | 112 px |
| `.kodza-inline-image-text__media video` | 2.24:1 | 2.22:1 | 112 px |

## Dark mode

Nothing to set: it takes its colours from the text around it, or looks the same on a light and a dark page.

Its images have dark versions next to them (`kz-stack-dark-1400.webp` → `kz-stack-dark-dark-1400.webp`). To swap them on a dark page: `<picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="…-dark-….webp"><img …></picture>`.

## Use it

### Plain HTML page

- CSS: `kodza/kodza-inline-image-text.css` next to the page (the Files commands as they are), linked in `<head>`: `<link rel="stylesheet" href="kodza/kodza-inline-image-text.css">`. Without a shell, paste it in a `<style>` in `<head>` instead. It only touches `kodza-` classes.
- HTML: where the component goes. Paste it as many times as you need: instances never interfere.
- JS: `kodza/kodza-inline-image-text.js`, loaded with `<script src="kodza/kodza-inline-image-text.js" defer></script>` in `<head>`. Without a shell, paste it in a `<script>` before `</body>` (or in `<head>`: it waits for the page). One copy per page, whatever the number of instances.
- Restyle with the `--kz-…` variables, set on the component's root element itself (the root declares its own defaults, so a value on an ancestor is ignored), and with the modifiers / attributes listed under API.
- Font: it takes the page's own. The Kodza look is Geist: `<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Geist:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Geist+Mono:wght@400;500&display=swap">`.
- Corners: a site with its own shapes sets them once for every Kodza component, on `:root`, never by editing the CSS (unset, nothing changes): `--kz-radius-scale` multiplies every corner (`0` square, `0.5` softer, `1` Kodza).
- Motion: a site sets its pace once for every Kodza component, on `:root`, never by editing the CSS or the JS: `--kz-motion-scale` multiplies every duration (`0.5` twice as fast, `2` twice as slow, `0` no motion at all, loops stopped, like reduced motion). Unset, nothing changes.
- Content added later (AJAX navigation, a SPA route, a builder preview): start it with `document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('kodza:init', { detail: { root: container } }))`; before removing it, the same call with `'kodza:destroy'` stops it and puts the original markup back.

### Claude artifact (claude.ai)

- Paste the CSS in a `<style>` and the JS in a `<script>` at the end, in the artifact itself: it loads stylesheets only from Google Fonts and scripts only from a few CDNs, so no `<link>` or `<script src>` to Kodza.
- Writing the artifact file with a shell? Insert the downloaded files (Files) with a command instead of retyping them: a line `KODZA-CSS` alone inside the `<style>`, `KODZA-JS` inside the `<script>`, then `sed -e '/^KODZA-CSS$/{r kodza/kodza-inline-image-text.css' -e 'd' -e '}' -e '/^KODZA-JS$/{r kodza/kodza-inline-image-text.js' -e 'd' -e '}' page.html > artifact.html`.
- Font: load Geist from Google Fonts (allowed): `<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Geist:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Geist+Mono:wght@400;500&display=swap">`.
- Corners: a site with its own shapes sets them once for every Kodza component, on `:root`, never by editing the CSS (unset, nothing changes): `--kz-radius-scale` multiplies every corner (`0` square, `0.5` softer, `1` Kodza).
- Motion: a site sets its pace once for every Kodza component, on `:root`, never by editing the CSS or the JS: `--kz-motion-scale` multiplies every duration (`0.5` twice as fast, `2` twice as slow, `0` no motion at all, loops stopped, like reduced motion). Unset, nothing changes.
- Images: the artifact blocks every other host, `kodza.dev` included, without an error. Embed each one as a `data:` URI, with a command if you can run one (`curl -s <url> | base64`; the 1400 px files weigh 10 to 30 KB), never by typing base64 out. If you can't run commands, keep the `<img>` with its `width` and `height`, and tell the user the picture stays blank inside the artifact.
- Dark mode: the viewer sets `data-theme="dark"` or `"light"` on `<html>`, or nothing when it follows the system. Write the Dark mode rules twice: inside `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)` with `:root:not([data-theme="light"])` in front of each selector, and with `:root[data-theme="dark"]` in front of each selector.

### WordPress

- HTML: a **Custom HTML** block (or a pattern / template part). WordPress keeps this markup as it is only for users allowed to post unfiltered HTML (Administrators; Super Admins on multisite): for anyone else it strips tags such as `<svg>`, `<input>` or `<dialog>`, so add it from the theme (a pattern or template part) instead.
- CSS and JS: the downloaded files go in the theme, under `wp-content/themes/<your-theme>/kodza/` (the child theme if there is one), enqueued from its functions.php (or a code-snippets plugin):
  ```php
  add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function () {
    $dir = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/kodza/';
    $uri = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/kodza/';
    wp_enqueue_style('kodza-inline-image-text', $uri . 'kodza-inline-image-text.css', [], filemtime($dir . 'kodza-inline-image-text.css'));
    wp_enqueue_script('kodza-inline-image-text', $uri . 'kodza-inline-image-text.js', [], filemtime($dir . 'kodza-inline-image-text.js'), true);
  });
  ```
  Scoped to `kodza-` classes, the CSS never touches the theme. One copy of the JS, whatever the number of blocks.
- No access to the theme files? The CSS can also go, as it is, in **Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS** (classic theme) or **Styles → Additional CSS** in the Site Editor (block theme).
- Theme with AJAX page transitions: fire `kodza:init` on the new content after each swap (and `kodza:destroy` on the old one).
- Performance plugin (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Perfmatters…) with **Delay JavaScript execution** turned on: add `kodza` to the scripts it must not delay. Otherwise the component waits for the visitor's first scroll, tap or mouse move, and that first click can be lost.
- Colours: it takes the colour of the text around it (or keeps its own monochrome): nothing to point at the theme.
- WordPress turns straight quotes and `--` into typographic ones in the text of a Custom HTML block (not inside `<code>` or `<pre>`).

#### With Elementor

- HTML: an **HTML** widget (Elementor shows it to administrators only). It keeps the code exactly as pasted, straight quotes included.
- CSS and JS: as above. Elementor's Site Settings → Theme Style styles every button, field, link and image of the page, components included; the theme guard at the end of the CSS keeps the component's buttons, fields and link colours as they are.
- The Elementor editor redraws each widget after the page has loaded: without the script below, the component stays still in the editor preview (the published page works). Add it once per site, in the footer like the component's script (`kodza/elementor-editor.js`, or a code-snippets plugin):

```js
// Kodza in the Elementor editor: the editor redraws each HTML widget after the page has loaded.
// Start Kodza in what it draws, stop it in what it replaces or removes. Once per site.
window.addEventListener('elementor/frontend/init', () => {
  if (!elementorFrontend.isEditMode()) return;
  class KodzaWidget extends elementorModules.frontend.handlers.Base {
    onInit() {
      super.onInit();
      this.kodza = [...this.$element[0].children];
      document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('kodza:init', { detail: { root: this.$element[0] } }));
    }
    onDestroy() {
      super.onDestroy();
      this.kodza.forEach((root) => document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('kodza:destroy', { detail: { root } })));
    }
  }
  elementorFrontend.elementsHandler.attachHandler('html', KodzaWidget);
});
```

- No child theme: everything can go in the HTML widget instead, `<style>` with the CSS, the HTML, then `<script>` with the JS. It works on the page and in the editor without the script above.

### Shopify

- Files: `assets/kodza-inline-image-text.css` and `assets/kodza-inline-image-text.js` (the Files commands with `-o assets/…`).
- In the section: `{{ 'kodza-inline-image-text.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}` and `<script src="{{ 'kodza-inline-image-text.js' | asset_url }}" defer></script>`, then the HTML.
- The theme editor re-renders sections: restart them with
  `document.addEventListener('shopify:section:load', (e) => document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('kodza:init', { detail: { root: e.target } })));`
  and the same with `shopify:section:unload` → `kodza:destroy`.

### React / Next.js

- Files, side by side (e.g. in `components/kodza/`): `InlineImageText.tsx` (below), the CSS block under Code saved as `inline-image-text.css` and the JS block as `inline-image-text.js`, both as they are. The HTML block is already inside the component: skip it.
- Use it: `import { InlineImageText } from '@/components/kodza/InlineImageText';` then `<InlineImageText />`. Props: `vars` (the `--kz-…` variables listed under API, e.g. `vars={{ '--kz-inline-image-text-width': … }}`), `className`, `style` and the other props of its `<p>` (`onClick`, `aria-…`).
- Next.js App Router: it is a Client Component already (`'use client'`). Pages Router: Next.js takes global CSS only in `pages/_app`, so move the `import './inline-image-text.css'` line there.
- Safe under StrictMode, client-side navigation and prop changes: when a prop changes, the `key` gives React a fresh element, `kodza:destroy` stops the script on the old one and `kodza:init` starts it on the new one.
- Built from your data (tabs, rows, options)? Add what the markup is made of to the `key`, as plain values (ids, text, numbers). What the visitor changes (the open tab, the sort, what they type) is the script's: follow it with `onClick` or `onInput` on the root, and change it from your code as a visitor would (click the tab; set the field's value, then dispatch a bubbling `input` event). Fields stay uncontrolled (`defaultValue`, `name`).

```tsx
'use client';
// Kodza — Inline Image Text, for React. From https://kodza.dev/components/inline-image-text/
// Kodza License: free to use, client work included. Not to resell or redistribute, ported or not: https://kodza.dev/docs/#print-license
// Next to this file: inline-image-text.css and inline-image-text.js, the component's CSS and JS from Kodza, as they are.
// Yours to edit: the markup is plain JSX below.
// The script changes this markup once React has rendered it (it adds layers, splits text, moves
// nodes), so React must not patch it afterwards. When a prop changes, the key gives React a fresh
// element: kodza:destroy stops the script on the old one, kodza:init starts it on the new one.
// data-kodza-manual keeps the script from starting it on its own: the effect below does, once
// React has hydrated the markup (on a page that streams in, the script can load first).
// Built from your data (tabs, rows, options)? Put what the markup is made of in the key, as plain
// values (ids, text, numbers): a change starts the script again on fresh markup. What the visitor
// changes (the open tab, the sort, what they type) is the script's: keep it out of the key, follow
// it with onClick or onInput on the root, and change it from your code as a visitor would (click
// the tab; set the field's value, then dispatch a bubbling input event).

// was written: the pictures are moved, never reloaded, and a loop keeps playing.
