Using clamp() to constraint a container width
Reading [min(), max(), and clamp(): three logical CSS functions to use today](https://web.dev/min-max-clamp/) presented an interesting case for using [clamp()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/clamp): Controlling the width of a text-container. In typography books, we're told that text should be between 45 and 75 characters wide. Until I saw the example, I hadn't thought about using clamp in combination with the [ch](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/length) length unit to express this requirement. In the following code snippet, we tell the browser that we want the width of the article to be 50% of the screen width but no smaller than 45ch or larger than 75ch, regardless of the viewport size. ```css article { width: clamp(45ch, 50%, 75ch); } ```
