#Sass Baseline Mixin
A very simple Baseline SCSS mixin for providing a visual baseline in your project, in CSS.
![An example of the baseline](http://cl.ly/image/2I2k3S2P0A0m/baseline-example.png)
##The Mixin
In the mixin it has two arguments, `$baseline-height` and `$baseline-color`. These are set to defaults in the mixin, but feel free to change it to any colour and line-height you like.
##Usage in projects
When using the mixin, you may want to set a condition for showing the grid, such as this:
```
// style.scss
$show-baseline: true!default; //Set to false when not in use.
body {
//...add your body styles here
@if $show-baseline == true {
// Include the baseline mixin
@include baseline;
}
}
```
And then you should have a suitable baseline for your project! Have fun!

// Set up line-height and colour defaults for this mixin.
$line-height: 20px!default;
$line-color: #94d4ff!default;
