Creating beautiful content with text styles

You can make the font size of a paragraph of text larger by giving it a class name of font-size-xl using the Source Code editor when editing an article. This can be used to emphasize a point or summarize the content of the article.

This article provides an overview of some of the most common typographic elements used in articles, covering everything from headings and blockquotes to tabs and toggles. Many of these elements are applied using the editor toolbar and their appearance may differ between themes.

Headings

Use .h1 through .h6 classes when you want to match the font styling of a heading but cannot use the associated HTML element.

h1

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

h2

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

h3

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

h4

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

h5

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

h6

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
<h1 class="truncate ...">The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.</h1>
<h2 class="truncate ...">The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.</h2>
<h3 class="truncate ...">The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.</h3>
<h4 class="truncate ...">The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.</h4>
<h5 class="truncate ...">The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.</h5>
<h6 class="truncate ...">The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.</h6>

Use font size utilities when you need to create larger (or smaller) headings.
