Definitions and explanations of different terminology you will see within both Sitecore and this resource.
Paragraphs in this design use simple styling meant to maximize legibility. A paragraph's size can also be increased by adding a lead class.
This design uses simple in-line links. By default, links are medium blue and slightly bold. Upon hover, links become dark blue and gain an underline. Links must be inserted via the Insert Link options in the Sitecore User Interface. Because underlined links are a design convention, you should always use bold or italic for emphasis instead of underline.
Headers are used to organize content and provide readers with a succinct description of the information contained in a content area. Headers are also crucial to SEO and can be used by assistive technologies to create in-page navigation.
Use Blockquotes for citations or to create emphasis on specific content. You can insert a Blockquote by using the code below, or through the CSS Class dropdown in the Rich Text Editor.
