# Text

Plain body text. Use it for descriptions, instructions, supporting copy, or anywhere you need a paragraph rather than a heading.

## Available in

* Page modules
* Order Form modules
* Dashboard modules
* Public Page modules

Text isn't available in Catalog, Modal, Reports, or Navigation modules.

## When to use

* Description below a heading.
* Instructions inside a form ("Add items to the order using the catalog or barcode scanner").
* Welcome messages, status notes, or anything that's prose rather than data.
* Footer text or fine-print on a page.

For headings, use **Heading**. For inline buttons that look like text, use **Button** with variant=link.

## Settings

| Setting       | Description                                                |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Text**      | The text content. Supports multi-line.                     |
| **Size**      | M (default body size, 20px) or S (smaller, 16px).          |
| **Align**     | Left, Center, Right. Default: Left.                        |
| **Color**     | Default (regular text) or Muted (lower-emphasis grey).     |
| **Max Width** | Optional CSS width constraint to keep long lines readable. |

## How it works

Text renders as a paragraph block with the configured size, alignment, and colour.

The **Muted** colour uses a grey from the theme palette (designed to be readable but lower-emphasis than headings or default text). Useful for captions, footnotes, and contextual notes.

{% hint style="info" %}
For long-form text, set a **Max Width** (e.g. `680px`). Lines that span the full page width are harder to read — narrower paragraphs improve scannability.
{% endhint %}

## Examples

**Welcome description.** Heading "Welcome back" + Text "Here's what's happened in your store today." Size M, Colour default.

**Form instructions.** A Text block above an Order Lines block, colour Muted: "Scan items or search by SKU below to add them to the order."

**Footer note.** Text at the bottom of a page, size S, colour Muted, alignment Center: "Need help? Contact your administrator."
