Adding padding to a grid-card-item adds it to the sd-col div and not to sd-card div

[jorisvandenbossche]

Describe the problem

I am basically trying something like:

.. grid:: 1 2 2 2

    .. grid-item-card::  Title
        :padding: 2

with the idea to add padding to the cards itself (so inner padding inside the card). But it adds the sd-p-3 class to the outer sd-col div, and not to the sd-card div:

...
<div class="sd-col sd-d-flex-row sd-p-3 docutils">
<div class="sd-card sd-sphinx-override sd-w-100 sd-shadow-sm docutils">
....
</div>
</div>
...

I personally would have expected it to add it to the sd-card div. But if this was intentional behaviour, is there another way to add padding to the card?

Heya, yeh as you can see in https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-design/blob/9226a12aa88a46fa8e4d21a812d4d88314668433/sphinx_design/grids.py#L234, columns, margin, padding and class-item are set on the grid item, and the rest is passed through to the card.

But if this was intentional behaviour

Yes it is intentional, although could re-consider if people thought the other way was more intuitive

is there another way to add padding to the card?

grid-item-card is a shortcut for using a card (with width: 100%) inside a grid-item, so you can always use that for added control:

.. grid:: 1 2 2 2

    .. grid-item::

        .. card::  Title
            :width: 100%
            :padding: 2

Thanks for the quick response!

It seems that "padding" is an unknown option for card (it's also not listed at https://sphinx-design.readthedocs.io/en/furo-theme/cards.html#card-options)

OK, I see now that it was intentional, and it are indeed the classes listed at https://sphinx-design.readthedocs.io/en/furo-theme/grids.html#grid-item-card-options which are at set on the grid-item (it might be useful to mention it there explicitly in the docs). But specifically for padding, I am wondering a bit what the use case can be to want to set specifically a padding on the grid-item. Since it's just a parent div with no other content, does it matter in practice if you set margin or padding? Is being able to set both useful? (genuine questions, as I am a CSS noob :))
