Text Usage p-text is used to specify paragraph styling Do: Use p-text for all running body copy, descriptions, and supporting text. Default to text-small for standard paragraphs; scale up for intros or short content blocks. Use text-xx-small for legal disclaimers or metadata. Maintain spacing and alignment using the fluid grid and responsive typography. Always use the predefined text styles to ensure readability and scalability. Don't: Don’t use p-text styles for section titles or visual emphasis—use p-heading or p-display. Don’t apply unapproved font sizes, weights, or custom spacing.

It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
