Usage
usage.tsx
import "@/app/globals.css"export function TypographyExample() { return ( <article className="typography"> <h1>Getting started</h1> <p className="lead">Build clear, readable documentation with semantic HTML.</p> <p>Use headings, lists, links, code, and tables without adding component-specific styling.</p> </article> )}- Use for rendered Markdown, MDX, CMS content, documentation, blog posts, and changelogs.
- Use when semantic HTML should receive a consistent typographic treatment without adding a React component API.
- Use the `not-typography` class on an element or matching descendant when a nested element must opt out of these styles.
- Use the provided `lead`, `large`, `small`, and `muted` classes for editorial text hierarchy within the content.

PropTypeDefaultDescription
classNamenull—No component props are defined. This registry item is a global CSS style; apply it with the `typography` class, and optionally use `not-typography`, `lead`, `large`, `small`, or `muted` class names.
Accessibility
- Use a logical heading hierarchy and do not skip heading levels solely for visual sizing.
- Use semantic HTML elements such as `article`, `h1`–`h6`, `p`, `ul`/`ol`, `blockquote`, `table`, `details`, and `summary` so the styling preserves meaningful document structure.
- Provide descriptive link text; the style adds underlines and the primary color but does not create accessible names for links.
- For tables, provide header cells with appropriate `scope` attributes and use `align="center"` or `align="right"` only when alignment conveys no loss of meaning.
- Ensure images and videos include appropriate alternative text or captions; this style only adds spacing and does not provide media accessibility.
- The `details` and `summary` elements retain native disclosure behavior, while the style adds a pointer cursor and spacing.
- The stylesheet does not add custom focus indicators, so preserve the browser or application focus styles for interactive elements.
