Text formatting

Use text utilities for alignment, wrapping, truncation, and emphasis.

Text utilities are easiest to review on a paragraph. A lead paragraph is selected so the most common Text Formatting properties are visible.

Text utilities help you adjust alignment, wrapping, emphasis, and readability without changing semantics. The lead paragraph is selected so you can immediately see the Text Formatting options. Tip: if selection is tricky, use App Structure to jump to the exact text node.

Start with the wider context in the Properties panel so the next control makes sense in the full workflow. In the next step, you will focus on Text: Color and see how it fits into this area.

Use Color for text-* utilities (including the new *-emphasis variants). This step matters because Text: Color is part of Selection Panels Properties Textelementcolor, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.

Use Align for text-start, text-center, and text-end. This step matters because Text: Alignment is part of Selection Panels Properties Textalign, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.

Use Font Weight and Line Height to tune hierarchy without custom CSS. This step matters because Text: Weight & line height is part of Selection Panels Properties Textfontweight, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.

Some Text utilities are tucked behind the Advanced toggle to keep the inspector concise. When you don’t see an option you expect, enable Advanced.

Turn on Advanced to reveal additional Text options. This step matters because Enable Advanced is part of Selection Panels Properties Text Advanced Layout, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.

With Advanced enabled, Transform becomes available for uppercase/capitalize/lowercase. This step matters because Text: Transform is part of Selection Panels Properties Texttransform, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.

More options appear under Advanced, including Overflow for nowrap/truncate/text-break. This step matters because Text: Overflow is part of Selection Panels Properties Textoverflow, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
