It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters.
- We want everything to look good out of the box.
- Really just the first reason, that's the whole point of the plugin.
- Here's a third pretend reason though a list with three items looks more realistic than a list with two items.
Typography should be easy
So that's a header for you — with any luck if we've done our job correctly that will look pretty reasonable.
Something a wise person once told me about typography is:
Typography is pretty important if you don't want your stuff to look like trash. Make it good then it won't be bad.
It's probably important that images look okay here by default as well. This text will wrap around the image below, creating a nice flowing layout that makes better use of the available space.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. This paragraph demonstrates the default 16px font size and 20px line height styling.
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. This text will wrap around the floating image above, maintaining the consistent typography.
Now I'm going to show you an example of an unordered list to make sure that looks good, too. This second image floats to the right, creating a nice alternating pattern with the text flowing around it naturally.
This is a test blockquote to demonstrate the border styling. The left border should be visible with proper spacing and italic text formatting.
This is a test blockquote with primary color border and no background. It should have a dark blue left border.
- So here is the first item in this list.
- In this example we're keeping the items short.
- Later, we'll use longer, more complex list items.
And that's the end of this section.
Code should look okay by default.
I think most people are going to use highlight.js or Prism or something if they want to style their code blocks but it wouldn't hurt to make them look okay out of the box, even with no syntax highlighting.
What I've written here is probably long enough, but adding this final sentence can't hurt.
function tick() {
const element = (
<div>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<h2>It is {new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}.</h2>
</div>
);
ReactDOM.render(element, document.getElementById('root'));
} Hopefully that looks good enough to you.
We still need to think about stacked headings though.
Let's make sure we don't screw that up with <code>h4</code> elements, either.
Phew, with any luck we have styled the headings above this text and they look pretty good.
Let's add a closing paragraph here so things end with a decently sized block of text. I can't explain why I want things to end that way but I have to assume it's because I think things will look weird or unbalanced if there is a heading too close to the end of the document.
