Text Table of Contents Static Size There are predefined fluid text sizes for the text component which should cover most use cases. If a specific text size is needed, the size can be set to inherit to specify the text size from outside via custom CSS (e.g. font-size: 3rem).

Responsive Size The size property accepts a breakpoint object to render different text sizes per viewport. This allows the text to adapt responsively without writing custom CSS.

Global settingsColor SchemeAll color tokens use the light-dark() CSS function. Set the theme via the CSS color-scheme property: light for light mode, dark for dark mode, or light dark to follow the user's system preference.LightDarkLight DarkDirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. 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%
