CSS hii inafafanua nyuso za fonti za Guardian Headline Full na Guardian Titlepiece, zenye uzito na mitindo mbalimbali, na inaweka kanuni za mpangilio kwa safu za maudhui shirikishi. Safu kuu ina pembezoni za kushoto za 160px kwenye skrini pana na 240px kwenye skrini pana zaidi. Atomi zina kikomo cha 620px, au upana kamili kwenye skrini ndogo. Vipengele vya Showcase havina pembezo ya kushoto na upana wa juu wa 620px au 860px kulingana na ukubwa wa skrini. Vipengele vya Immersive vina kikomo cha 1100px, na nafasi maalum ya full-bleed kwenye skrini ndogo, mchepuko mdogo wa kushoto na upana wa ziada kwenye skrini za kati, na pembezo na upana zilizorekebishwa kwenye skrini kubwa hadi 1260px. Aya na orodha zina kikomo cha 620px, na pseudo-element imewekwa kwa njia ya absolute juu na urefu unaozidi kidogo chombo na urefu wa chini wa 100px.Hapa kuna maandishi yaliyoandikwa upya kwa Kiingereza fasaha na asilia:

```Maandishi yaliyotolewa ni msimbo wa CSS, si nathari, kwa hivyo hauwezi kuandikwa upya kwa Kiingereza fasaha huku ukihifadhi maana. Ukitaka, naweza kueleza kile vichaguzi vya CSS hufanya kwa Kiingereza rahisi.CSS hii inapamba herufi ya kwanza ya aya zinazofuata vipengele fulani, na kuunda athari ya drop cap. Herufi ya kwanza inatumia fonti ya Guardian Headline kwa ukubwa wa 111px na urefu wa mstari wa 92px, inaelea kushoto, ni herufi kubwa, na ina pembezo ya kulia ya 8px. Rangi imewekwa na kigezo cha CSS.
Pia inaondoa padding ya juu kutoka kwa aya zinazofuata mistari ya mlalo, inaweka kikomo cha upana wa 620px kwa nukuu za pull, na kurekebisha maelezo ya michoro katika vipengele vya showcase kuwa tuli na upana kamili hadi 620px. Kwenye skrini pana (71.25em na zaidi), maelezo yanakuwa yamewekwa kwa njia ya absolute na upana wa juu wa 140px, ukiongezeka hadi 220px kwenye skrini za 81.25em na zaidi.
Vipengele vya immersive vinachukua upana kamili wa viewport ukiondoa scrollbar. Kwenye skrini ndogo vina kikomo cha 978px na padding ya ndani ya 10px, au 20px kwenye skrini kati ya 30em na 71.24em. Kati ya 46.25em na 61.24em vina kikomo cha 738px. Chini ya 46.24em vinahama kushoto kwa 10px (au 20px kwenye skrini za 30em na zaidi) bila pembezo ya kulia.
Kwenye skrini za 71.25em na zaidi, michoro ya showcase kwenye mwili zinapata pembezo ya kushoto ya -160px, na kwenye skrini za 81.25em na zaidi vilevile inatumika kwa michoro kwenye safu kuu shirikishi.Hii ni msimbo wa CSS, si nathari, kwa hivyo hakuna Kiingereza asilia cha kuandika upya.

Kanuni zifuatazo za CSS zinatumika kwa viungo vilivyo ndani ya vitu vya orodha ndani ya standfirst na furniture wrapper: vinapopulizwa, havipaswi kuwa na mpaka wa chini, na rangi ya mapambo ya maandishi inapaswa kutumia rangi mpya ya nguzo au rangi ya kipengele cha hali ya giza.
Aya zilizo ndani ya standfirst na furniture wrapper zinapaswa kuwa na rangi ya maandishi ya #dcdcdc. Kwenye skrini zenye upana wa angalau 61.25em, aya ya kwanza inapata mpaka wa juu kwa kutumia rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa. Kwenye skrini zenye upana wa angalau 71.25em, mpaka huo wa juu unaondolewa.
Vitu vya orodha vilivyo ndani ya standfirst na furniture wrapper vinapaswa pia kuwa na rangi ya maandishi ya #dcdcdc. Kwenye skrini zenye upana wa angalau 71.25em, pseudo-element ya kabla ya standfirst inapaswa kutumia rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa kama mandhari yake.
Kwenye skrini zenye upana wa angalau 46.25em, furniture wrapper inapata pseudo-element za kabla na baada. Zote zina urefu kamili, zimewekwa juu, na zinatumia rangi ya mandhari ya giza. Kipengele cha kabla kinakaa upande wa kushoto na mpaka wa kulia katika rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa, wakati kipengele cha baada kinakaa upande wa kulia na mpaka wa kushoto katika rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa. Upana na mchepuko wao vinahesabiwa kutoka kwa upana wa viewport ukiondoa upana wa scrollbar na upana maalum wa maudhui, ukigawanywa kwa mbili.
Kwenye breakpoints pana (61.25em, 71.25em, na 81.25em), pseudo-element hizi zinabaki na muundo sawa, lakini upana maalum wa maudhui unaotumika katika hesabu unaongezeka hadi 978px, 1138px, na 1298px mtawalia.
Aikoni za SVG katika vipengele vya keyline-4 na lines zinapaswa kupigwa mstari kwa rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa. Vipengele vya kijamii na maoni katika sehemu ya meta, ikiwa ni pamoja na span za viungo ndani ya orodha ya kijamii, zinapaswa kutumia rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa kwa mipaka yao.
Katika sehemu za mwili wa makala na mwili wa makala shirikishi, vichwa vya h2 vinapaswa kuwa na uzito wa fonti wa 200. Ikiwa h2 ina kipengele cha strong, inapaswa badala yake kuwa na uzito wa fonti wa 700.
Orodha zisizo na mpangilio zilizowekwa alama ya kufichwa katika mpangilio wa kuchapisha hazipaswi kuwa na picha ya mandhari.
Wakati lengo la uwasilishaji limewekwa kwa apps, sifa kadhaa maalum zinafafanuliwa: rangi za maandishi ya kufuata na maandishi ya standfirst ni #dcdcdc; ujazo wa aikoni ya kufuata, maandishi ya kiungo cha standfirst, mpaka wa kiungo cha standfirst, na byline hutumia rangi mpya ya nguzo; mistari ya meta ya makala hutumia rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa; na byline pia hutumia rangi ya nguzo ya hali ya giza.
Katika hali hiyo hiyo ya uwasilishaji wa apps, span za byline zinapaswa kutumia rangi mpya ya nguzo. Span ya byline iliyo na div ikifuatiwa mara moja na kipengele cha FollowWapper inapaswa kupata picha ya mandhari iliyoundwa na rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa, mpaka wa kichwa wa 1px, na 1px isiyo na rangi.
Mwishowe, hoji la media kwa prefers-color-scheme linaanza lakini limekatwa.Espresso Embassy, duka la kahawa la wimbi la tatu katika wilaya ya kidiplomasia na serikali ya Budapest, ni mahali ambapo waandishi wa habari na wasomi wanaotembelea huja kujadili siasa. Nilipokuwa nikielekea kwa kahawa ya asubuhi tarehe 18 Machi, nilipita bango la chama cha Fidesz cha Viktor Orbán ambalo lilikuwa limeharibiwa kwa kalamu ya alama: "chaguo salama" lilikuwa limegeuka kuwa "njia ya uhakika ya kulaaniwa." Kando ya mkahawa, nilimwona mwandishi wa habari na mwanahistoria wa Marekani Anne Applebaum akiwa kwenye mazungumzo ya kina, ikiwezekana na chanzo. Nilimsikia mtu akisema kwa mshangao: "Kama Mussolini tu!" Ilikuwa msimu wa uchaguzi nchini Hungaria.
Pia ilikuwa siku kadhaa kabla ya Cpac Hungary, tukio la satelaiti la kongamano la kihafidhina lenye makao yake Marekani. Wakati wanachama wa mrengo wa kulia wa kimataifa walipowasili mjini, taasisi ya fikra ya Orbánist inayojulikana kama Danube Institute ilikuwa ikiandaa tukio liitwalo On Censorship, Tolerance, the Left and God. Msimamo rasmi ungekuwa: mbaya, mzuri, mbaya, mzuri.
Baada ya giza, nilitembea kando ya kuta za Buda Castle na kupita ngazi za Jesuit hadi taasisi. Wasemaji walioangaziwa walikuwa Dave Rubin, mpodcaster wa Marekani kutoka kile kinachoitwa "intellectual dark web," na Eva Vlaardingerbroek, mchochezi wa Uholanzi ambaye alidai jina "shieldmaiden of the far right" kwenye wasifu wake wa X. "Hautambui jinsi ulivyo na bahati" nchini Hungaria, Rubin alisema. "Mambo mengi yameharibika kote magharibi." Baada ya jopo, mwanamume wa Marekani alijitambulisha kwangu na kuniuliza nilikuwa Budapest kwa muda gani. Nilikuwa nimewahi kufikiria uraia wa nchi mbili? Ikiwa ndivyo, angeweza kusaidia. "Marafiki zangu," alisema, "wananiita Harriet Tubman wa wazungu."
Kwa miezi michache iliyopita, nilikuwa nikizunguka Danube Institute na sehemu nyingine za kukusanyika zinazofadhiliwa na serikali, nikijaribu kujifanya kama mwanachama mwingine wa wasomi wa mrengo wa kulia anayefanya hija yake Budapest. Ilianzishwa mwaka 2013 kwa fedha za serikali zilizoelekezwa na serikali ya Orbán, taasisi ilikuwa imejulikana kama kitovu kikuu cha harakati inayochipuka ya "postliberal," muungano legelege wa wanafikra wa kihafidhina wenye mawazo tofauti ambao mara nyingi huhusishwa na mwanablogu wa Marekani mwenye tabia ya kipekee na anayejitangaza kama mpingaji wa Kikristo Rod Dreher. Wakati wa muhula wake wa kwanza wa ufadhili katika Danube Institute mwaka 2021, alisaidia kupanga safari ya waandishi wa habari ya wiki moja ya Tucker Carlson nchini Hungaria, ambayo ilijumuisha mahojiano ya Fox News yenye kumsifu Orbán. Tangu wakati huo, machapisho ya kiliberali kama New York Times, New Yorker na Atlantic yametuma waandishi wa habari kumhoji Dreher kuhusu taasisi na uhusiano wake na utawala wa kiimla wa Orbán. Hii ilizalisha mfululizo wa ripoti zenye msisimko zilizoonyesha taasisi ndogo ya fikra kama kituo cha mawazo hatari yasiyozingatia uhuru. Kama Applebaum alivyoandika katika kitabu chake Twilight of Democracy: "Danube Institute ipo, kwa vitendo, ili kuifanya serikali ya Hungaria iweze kuwasilishwa kwa ulimwengu wa nje."
Kwa maoni ya Applebaum, utawala wa Orbán ulikuwa "umeunda mfumo wa kisiasa ambao hakuna chama cha upinzani kingeweza kushinda," na wasomi wa kigeni katika Danube Institute walikuwa ama wapiga propaganda wenye kujua au wapumbavu wajinga kwa mradi wa Orbán wa kupinga demokrasia. Lakini hivi karibuni, Orbán angekuwa nje ya madaraka, akiondolewa kwa ushindi mkubwa katika uchaguzi wa Aprili, na mwezi Juni bunge jipya la Hungaria lingepitisha marekebisho ya katiba yanayovunja mfumo wa upendeleo unaofadhili Danube Institute, pamoja na MCC Brussels, uwanja wa mafunzo kwa wasomi wa Fidesz.
Ilikuwa nyakati za mwisho kwa wapostliberal huko Budapest, hata kama hawakujua bado. Kitakachosalia baada ya kuanguka kwa kile kinachoitwa eneo la Budapest ni kikundi kilichogawanyika cha wanafikra wa mrengo wa kulia ambao, vyovyote hatima yao nchini Hungaria, wataendelea kuwa na ushawishi wa kutisha juu ya utamaduni wa kisiasa wa Marekani. Ikiwa walikuwa wanasesere wa Orbán wakati wowote, hawako tena. Lakini kuwapunguza kuwa watumishi wasiofikiri wa mtu mmoja mwenye nguvu kumefanya iwe vigumu kukabiliana na tishio halisi la mawazo ya postliberal - au mgogoro wanaoujibu. Rasmi, nilikuwa Budapest kuandika kitabu kuhusu wasomi wa magharibi waliosafiri hadi Hungaria kukutana na upinzani wa wapinzani wakati wa miaka ya mwisho ya enzi ya kikomunisti. Mimi na familia yangu tulikuwa wageni wa Institute for Advanced Study, ambayo ilikuwa imeitwa Collegium Budapest kabla serikali ya Orbán kuifunga kwa ufanisi mwaka 2011. Sasa imefunguliwa tena, ilikuwa sehemu ya mabaki ya Central European University ambayo bado ilikuwa nchini Hungaria. Sehemu nyingine ya taasisi ilikuwa imelazimika kuhamia Vienna wakati wa kampeni ndefu dhidi ya George Soros na jamii huru ya raia ya Hungaria. Mwanzoni mwa mwaka huu, nilijifanya dhamira yangu ya nusu-kejeli kuingia Danube Institute. Kwa kweli nilitaka kuona kilichokuwa kikiendelea ndani ya taasisi hii ya fikra ambayo ilikuwa imejulikana kama makao makuu ya mradi wa kimataifa wa postliberal. Kuifikia haikuwa vigumu. Iko katika Lónyay-Hatvany Villa, jengo lililorekebishwa ambalo kwa muda mfupi lilikuwa kasino ya SS wakati wa vita vya pili vya dunia na sasa lina mkahawa wa hali ya juu kwenye ghorofa yake kuu. Jioni moja, nilipanda ngazi mwinuko zilizokuwa na mwanga hafifu kutoka kwa taa za chuma, mwanga
