Creating an expanding width master page with content padding

In this recipe, we will modify the seattle.master master page to have padding added around the expanding width content for a contained look that still expands with the browser window using CSS.

How to do it...

Follow these steps to create an expanding width master page with content padding:

Open SharePoint Designer.
Select Open Site. Enter the complete URL to the SharePoint site and select Open.
From the Navigation pane, select Master Pages.
In the list of files in the Master Pages library, make a copy of seattle.master (for our example, we have renamed it Seattle_ExpandingWidthWithPadding.master).
Check out the new Seattle_ExpandingWidthWithPadding.master master page using the Check Out feature.
Open the Seattle_ExpandingWidthWithPadding.master master page.
Locate the <head> element.
Add the following CSS reference to the ExpandingWidthWithPadding.css file we created:
```
<SharePoint:CssRegistration ID="customCssRegistration" Name=...
```
