    The key takeaways from the document are that CSS Grid is a two-dimensional layout system for the web that allows developers to divide available space into columns and rows, and place elements into specific areas. Some key terms introduced are grid container, grid item, grid line, grid cell, grid track and grid area.

    Grid lines are referenced by number, starting and ending with the outer borders of the grid. They can also be named for easier reference.

    Grid lines separate the grid into rows and columns. Grid tracks refer to the space between grid lines - row tracks are horizontal and column tracks are vertical.
