+**Format:** `ds-u-measure--[NAME]`
 
-- **narrow** = line length ~45 characters
-- **base** = line length ~65 characters
-- **wide** = line length ~80 characters
+.ds-u-measure--narrow - line length ~45 characters
+.ds-u-measure--base - line length ~65 characters
+.ds-u-measure--wide - line length ~80 characters
