Using the lotusui namespace
The lotusui namespace was created to allow applications to embed components into another application / web page. The lotusui class can be applied to the body tag if you are creating a stand-alone application, or to a div surrounding a piece of code (these are called data islands ).
- When class="lotusui" is applied to the body tag, the Lotus UI font declarations are applied to your page.
- A data island will pick up the default look of a component and will pick up the existing font declarations of the page.
- Do not nest lotusui data islands.
Namespacing Components
All the class names found in this documentation use the lotus prefix. This ensures that they are unique and won't clash with other classes that may exist on the same page.
Products that are adding classes to their pages should use their own unique prefix. If they create a component that gets adopted into the Lotus UI component set, the prefix will at that time be changed to lotus.
