Formatting
A quick index of styles. With a variety of text comes the need for many formatting styles, use this table as a helper.
Use | Sample | How to implement? |
---|---|---|
Citations | Hi, I'm a citation! | HTML <cite> element |
Basic pullquotes | I'm being quoted here, or maybe just highlighted? |
HTML <blockquote> element. Consider combining with the grid classes and float-left or float-right for a highlight look. |
Emphasis pullquotes | I'm being quoted here and want to be noticed |
HTML <blockquote> element with class .lead . |
Emphasis pullquote with quotation mark and citation | I'm being quoted here and want to be noticed. Hi, I'm a citation! |
HTML <blockquote> element with class .lead and .quote . |
Small text | I'm so small. | CSS class .small |
Lead intro text | I'm some intro text. | CSS class .lead |
Read more | Read more here | CSS class .readmore |
Read more (as a button) | Read more here | CSS class .readmore .button |
Serif text | For large narrative text areas, consider the CSS class .serif to use the "EB Garamond" font, which is also loaded by the font stylesheet. |
CSS class .serif |
Serif text | We use sans-serif by default, but maybe you need to force it for some reason? | CSS class .sans-serif |
