  <p>The modal structure is very simple:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <code>modal</code>: the main container
      <ul>
        <li>
          <code>modal-background</code>: a transparent overlay that can act as a click target to close the modal
        </li>
        <li>
          <code>modal-content</code>: a horizontally and vertically centered container, with a maximum width of 640px, in which you can include <em>any</em> content
        </li>
        <li>
          <code>modal-close</code>: a simple cross located in the top right corner
        </li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <p>
    <button class="button is-primary is-large modal-button" data-target="modal" aria-haspopup="true">Launch example modal</button>
  </p>
</div>

{% highlight html %}{{ modal }}{% endhighlight %}

<div class="content">
  <p>
    To <strong>activate</strong> the modal, just add the <code>is-active</code> modifier on the <code>.modal</code> container.
    You may also want to add <code>is-clipped</code> modifier to a containing element (usually <code>html</code>) to stop scroll overflow.
  </p>
</div>

<div class="message is-danger">
  <div class="message-header">
    No JavaScript
  </div>
  <div class="message-body">
    Bulma does <strong>not</strong> include any JavaScript interaction. You will have to implement the class toggle yourself.
  </div>
</div>

<hr>

<h3 class="title">Image modal</h3>

<div class="content">
  <p>Because a modal can contain <strong>anything you want</strong>, you can very simply use it to build an image gallery for example:</p>
  <p>
    <a class="button is-primary is-large modal-button" data-target="modal-bis">Launch image modal</a>
  </p>
</div>

{% highlight html %}{{ image_modal }}{% endhighlight %}

<hr>

<h3 class="title">Modal card</h3>

<div class="content">
  <p>If you want a more classic modal, with a <strong>head</strong>, a <strong>body</strong> and a <strong>foot</strong>, use the <code>modal-card</code>.</p>
  <p>
    <button class="button is-primary is-large modal-button" data-target="modal-ter" aria-haspopup="true">Launch card modal</button>
