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

The lazy major was fixing Cupid’s broken quiver. Bawds jog, flick quartz, vex nymphs. Few quips galvanized the mock jury box.

Painful zombies quickly watch a jinxed graveyard. Quincy Pondexter blocked five jams against the Wizards! Hick dwarves jam blitzing foxy quip.

Big paragraph

Boxers had zap of gay jock love, quit women. Five hexing wizard bots jump quickly. Fox dwarves chop my talking quiz job.

Sex prof gives back no quiz with mild joy. Levi Lentz packed my bag with six quarts of juice.

Then a cop quizzed Mick Jagger’s ex-wives briefly. Glib jocks quiz nymph to vex dwarf. The wizard quickly jinxed the gnomes before they vaporized.

Small paragraph

Jumpy halfling dwarves pick quartz box. Jackie will budget for the most expensive zoology equipment. Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes.

Nymphs blitz quick vex dwarf jog. Fat hag dwarves quickly zap jinx mob. Prating jokers quizzically vexed me with fibs. Quick blowing zephyrs vex daft Jim.

Levi Lentz packed my bag with six quarts of juice. By Jove, my quick study of lexicography won a prize. Cozy lummox gives smart squid who asks for job pen.
