+/* TODO: move top-level variables to a common _variables.scss.
  * NOTE: These variables were only added here because when this was integrated with the CMS,
  * SASS compilation errors were triggered because the CMS didn't have the same variables defined
  * that the LMS did, so the quick fix was to localize the LMS variables not shared by the CMS.
