Preformatted Text

Typographically, preformatted text is not the same thing as code. Sometimes, a faithful execution of the text requires preformatted text that may not have anything to do with code. For example:

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
    The frumious Bandersnatch!”

Code

Code can be presented inline, like <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>, or within a <pre> block.

#container { float: left; margin: 0 -240px 0 0; width: 100%; }

Blockquotes

Let’s keep it simple.

Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it I can sing it for you. HAL 9000

And here’s a bit of trailing text.


Advanced Styles

The styles shown here are advanced styles and require some HTML and CSS knowledge. In most cases, the styles are achieved by adding a class to an HTML element.

Buttons

<a class="button" href="#">Button Text.</a>

Button Alternate Button

Callouts

<p class="callout">Call this text out with style.</p>

This is an example of a callout box. Make sure links like this are readable.

Drop Caps

<p class="drop-cap">Add drop cap to this paragraph.</p>

Some themes include drop-caps. When applied, the first letter of the paragraph is typically larger and often drops below the baseline into the line below it.

Typography Styles

To use the pull quote, you simply need to add a class of pull-right or pull-left to your content. This can be done in the Text editor view. See an example below:

<span class="pull-right">Pull this text right.</span>

This pull quote is just hanging out on the right side of the post. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur.

A pull quote (also known as a lift-out quote) is a quotation or excerpt from an article that is typically placed in a larger or distinctive typeface on the same page, serving to entice readers into an article or to highlight a key topic. The term is principally used in journalism and publishing.

Placement of a pull quote on a page may be defined in a publication’s or website’s style guide. Such a typographic device may or may not be aligned with a column on the page. Some designers, for example, choose not to align the quote. In that case, the quotation cuts into two or more columns, as in the example shown.

And this pull quote is pulling text to the left, like a sir. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur.

Pull quotes need not be a verbatim copy of the text being quoted; depending on a publication’s house style pull quotes may be abbreviated for space and/or paraphrased for clarity, with or without indication. There are no hard-and-fast rules for the exact formatting of pull quotes. A pull quote (also known as a lift-out quote) is a quotation or excerpt from an article that is typically placed in a larger or distinctive typeface on the same page serving to entice readers.
