Style Guide
You can add an introductory larger size text to your articles by simply wrapping a paragraph in a p tag with the CSS class of “intro”. Put simply, larger text will usually be read before smaller text.
We paid a lot of attention to getting the basics of our typography right in the new WordPress Blog theme. The purpose of this page is to help determine what default settings are with CSS and to make sure that all possible elements are included. For example we looked at headings. Lovely headings.
Heading Two Formatting
Dropcap can be added by wrapping the first letter of the first word in a span tag with the CSS class of “dropcap”. Instead of using the body text font, we use the display font from our titles. This also ties the two elements together if the display font works well with the body text.openers. You can also use a purely decorative font. There are thousands of decorative typefaces, and most of them aren’t appropriate for use in a book’s body text.
Blockquotes are a great way to display and format quotations. Insert beautiful quotes using the “quote” button from the visual editor. To add an author just wrap its name in a cite tag.

Tables are useful for layouts where text needs to be positioned side-by-side or floating at specific locations on the page. If making these is frustrating with the usual layout tools, try using a table.
| Employee | Salary | |
|---|---|---|
| John Doe | $1 | Because that’s all Steve Jobs needed for a salary. |
| Jane Doe | $100K | For all the blogging she does. |
| Fred Bloggs | $100M | Pictures are worth a thousand words, right? So Jane x 1,000. |
