Paragraphs

Paragraphs are the essential building blocks of text. A comfortable line length and surrounding whitespace contribute to their legibility.

Syntax

A paragraph is a sequence of Unicode characters with arbitrary length. An empty line marks the end of a paragraph as it does for all other Markdown blocks.

The theme offers to style a first paragraph — like the first one on this page — and a big and a small one. These styles are applied with the attributes {.p-first}, {.p-big}, and {.p-small}.

Layout

Line height and length are coordinated with the proportions of the font-family Plex. The space between subsequent paragraphs is twice as big as the space between two lines inside a paragraph. On small screens, it’s a little less.

Two normal paragraphs

Sixty zips were quickly picked from the woven jute bag. Brawny gods just flocked up to quiz and vex him. Jack fox bids ivy-strewn phlegm quiz.

Few quips galvanized the mock jury box. The five boxing wizards jump quickly. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Big paragraph

The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. Public junk dwarves quiz mighty fox. Then a cop quizzed Mick Jagger’s ex-wives briefly.

Jumpy halfling dwarves pick quartz box. Fix problem quickly with galvanized jets.

Joaquin Phoenix was gazed by MTV for luck. Jack quietly moved up front and seized the big ball of wax. Bored? Craving a pub quiz fix? Why, just come to the Royal Oak!

Small paragraph

Bored? Craving a pub quiz fix? Why, just come to the Royal Oak! A very big box sailed up then whizzed quickly from Japan. The lazy major was fixing Cupid’s broken quiver.

Quest judge wizard bonks foxy chimp love. Five quacking zephyrs jolt my wax bed. Both fickle dwarves jinx my pig quiz. Foxy parsons quiz and cajole the lovably dim wiki-girl.

How quickly daft jumping zebras vex. A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow!
