Monospace

You can apply a monospace font style.

Truncate

Text can be truncated with an ellipsis if it exceeds the container width.

Clamp

Clamp allows limiting the number of lines displayed.

This is a multi-line text example that should be clamped after two lines. If the text exceeds two lines, an ellipsis will appear.

<Text clamp={2}>This is a multi-line text example that should be clamped after two lines.</Text>

Alignment

Text can be aligned to the left, center, or right.
Left aligned
Center aligned
Right aligned
<Text align="left">Left aligned</Text>
<Text align="center">Center aligned</Text>
<Text align="right">Right aligned</Text>

Lists

You can render ordered or unordered lists using the as prop.
  • Item one
  • Item two
  • Item three
  1. First step
  2. Second step
  3. Third step
<Text as="ul" className="list-square pl-5">...</Text>

Custom unordered list
