# Typography

The Typography component is designed for long-form, structured content containing headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes, and other text elements. It applies one Theme Studio typography style across the entire content block.

Use Typography when you want consistent editorial styling without configuring each text element independently.

### How to Use Typography

You’ll find Typography under **Content** in the Components list.

1. Drag **Typography** onto the page.
2. Add or edit the long-form content inside the component.
3. Choose a Theme Studio typography **Style**.
4. Select the semantic HTML tag that best describes the block.
5. Adjust shared sizing, spacing, background, borders, and effects if required.

### Component Settings

#### General

**Style** selects a Typography style from Theme Studio and defaults to Article. The style controls the appearance of headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and other nested text.

**Tag** sets the semantic wrapper and is not responsive. Options are Article, Section, Aside, Main Content, Header, Footer, Div, and Span. Article is the default.

Choose the tag for meaning rather than appearance:

* **Article** — Self-contained editorial content.
* **Section** — A thematic section of a page.
* **Aside** — Supporting or secondary content.
* **Main Content** — The page’s primary content; use only once per page.
* **Header** or **Footer** — Introductory or closing content for a page or section.
* **Div** or **Span** — Neutral wrappers when no semantic option applies.

### Tips and Best Practices

#### Manually styling links in lists

In **Typography → Advanced**, add these classes:

```css
[&_a]:!font-body
[&_a]:text-brand-500
[&_a]:underline-offset-2
[&_a:hover]:underline
```

This styles links inside lists used within the Typography component.

### Accessibility

Keep heading levels in a logical order and choose a semantic wrapper that matches the content. Link text should describe its destination without relying on surrounding text.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/using-elements/components/content-and-media/typography.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
