Options

Option Values Default Description
Text Any text or template Text The content to display
Text Align Left · Center · Right From theme Horizontal alignment
Text Style Bold · Italic · Underline Off Inline emphasis toggles
Inherit styles On · Off Off When on, the text ignores the text theme and takes its styling from the container instead — a section header or footer, for example
Box Style Sizing and spacing The box around the text

Notes

  • Templates are evaluated live: when the underlying value changes, the text updates without a page reload
  • Turn on Inherit styles for text that sits inside another widget's slot and should match it
  • For a heading that carries document structure, use Heading instead
