* SCSS variables defining a range of font sizes.
*
* These are defined in `rem` so that they scale with the `font-size` of the root element (which is adjustable via the
* "Font size" setting). They exist to make the job of converting designs (which tend to be based in pixels) into CSS
* easier.
*
* That means that, slightly confusingly, `$font-10px` is only *actually* 10px at the default font size: at a base
* `font-size` of 15, it is actually 15px.

/* SCSS variables representing a range of standard lengths.
*
* Avoid using these in new code: we cannot adjust their values without causing massive confusion, so they are
* effectively equivalent to using hardcoded values.
*
* In future, we plan to introduce variables named according to their purpose rather than their size. Additionally,
* we want switch to custom CSS properties (https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/21656), so we might have
* `--spacing-standard` or something. For now, you might as well use hardcoded px values for lengths (except for font
* sizes, for which see the `$font-<N>px` variables).
