docs/styles/grid/row_span.md
The row-span style specifies how many rows a widget will span in a grid layout.
!!! note
This style only affects widgets that are direct children of a widget with `layout: grid`.
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_start.md" row-span: <a href="../../../css_types/integer"><integer></a>; --8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_end.md"
The row-span style accepts a single non-negative <integer> that quantifies how many rows the given widget spans.
The example below shows a 4 by 4 grid where many placeholders span over several rows.
Notice that grid cells are filled from left to right, top to bottom.
After placing the placeholders #p1, #p2, #p3, and #p4, the next available cell is in the second row, fourth column, which is where the top of #p5 is.
