Twenty Twenty-One: Typo in style.css – missing `var( … )`

[mukesh27]

In the style.css file of Twenty Twenty One, there is a typo on line 2873:

p { line-height: var(--wp--typography--line-height, --global--line-height-body); }

The second argument to var is clearly meant to be var(--global--line-height-body), not the bare variable name --global--line-height-body. The latter is simply an invalid value.

Normally I would file this kind of thing as a ticket or issue in the source control repository, but I couldn’t find a way to do that. I hope this gets the attention of someone who has the power to fix it!

That's exactly where you are :)

Looking for cases in twentytwentyone where var() is used with a variable as the second value:

$ grep 'var' . -ri | grep ',\s*\-\-'
./style.css:	line-height: var(--wp--typography--line-height, --global--line-height-body);
./style-rtl.css:	line-height: var(--wp--typography--line-height, --global--line-height-body);
./assets/css/style-editor.css:	line-height: var(--wp--typography--line-height, --global--line-height-body);
./assets/css/style-editor.css:	line-height: var(--wp--typography--line-height, --global--line-height-body);
./assets/sass/05-blocks/heading/_editor.scss:		line-height: var(--wp--typography--line-height, --global--line-height-body);
./assets/sass/05-blocks/paragraph/_editor.scss:	line-height: var(--wp--typography--line-height, --global--line-height-body);
./assets/sass/05-blocks/paragraph/_style.scss:	line-height: var(--wp--typography--line-height, --global--line-height-body);

Looks like the first four are just generated from the next three sass rules.

If you wish to submit a patch, you can submit a diff to this ticket, or a GitHub PR to ​https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress-develop/ - you can simply avoid touching the compiled CSS files and just the source sass files.

I see! I will submit a PR shortly. Thanks for replying so swiftly!

This patch fixes three cases where the fallback parameter to a var(…) call was meant to be a CSS variable, but was not itself surrounded in var(…).

I have submitted a patch via GitHub; is there anything more I should do?

@acerempel I think you did everything correct, and thank you. :)

The pull request looks good to me.
