<Text>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</Text>
This component is based on the span element and supports common margin props.
Use the as prop to render text as a p, label, div or span. This prop is purely semantic and does not alter visual appearance.
<Text as="p">This is a <Strong>paragraph</Strong> element.</Text>
<Text as="label">This is a <Strong>label</Strong> element.</Text>
<Text as="div">This is a <Strong>div</Strong> element.</Text>
<Text as="span">This is a <Strong>span</Strong> element.</Text>
Use the size prop to control text size. This prop also provides correct line height and corrective letter spacing—as text size increases, the relative line height and letter spacing decrease.

Sizes 2–4 are designed to work well for long-form content.

The goal of typography is to relate font size, line height, and line width in a proportional way that maximizes beauty and makes reading easier and more pleasant. The question is: What proportion(s) will give us the best results? The golden ratio is often observed in nature where beauty and utility intersect; perhaps we can use this “divine” proportion to enhance these attributes in our typography.

Use the weight prop to set the text weight.
<Text weight="regular" as="div">
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
</Text>
<Text weight="medium" as="div">
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
</Text>
<Text weight="bold" as="div">

<Text align="left" as="div">Left-aligned</Text>
<Text align="center" as="div">Center-aligned</Text>
<Text align="right" as="div">Right-aligned</Text>
Use the trim prop to trim the leading space at the start, end, or both sides of the text box.
The prop works similarly to the upcoming half-leading control spec, but uses a common negative margin workaround under the hood for cross-browser support.
<Flex direction="column" gap="3">
<Text
trim="normal"
style={{
background: "var(--gray-a2)",
borderTop: "1px dashed var(--gray-a7)",
borderBottom: "1px dashed var(--gray-a7)",
}}
>
Without trim
</Text>
<Text
trim="both"
style={{
background: "var(--gray-a2)",
borderTop: "1px dashed var(--gray-a7)",
borderBottom: "1px dashed var(--gray-a7)",
}}
>

Trimming the leading is useful when dialing in vertical spacing in cards or other “boxy” components. Otherwise, padding looks larger on top and bottom than on the sides.
<Flex direction="column" gap="3">
<Box

border: "1px dashed var(--gray-a7)",

The default trim values are configured for the system font stack that’s used by Radix Themes. If you are using custom fonts, you can adjust the trim values using the corresponding CSS variables.
.radix-themes {
--default-leading-trim-start: 0.42em;
--default-leading-trim-end: 0.36em;
--heading-leading-trim-start: 0.42em;
--heading-leading-trim-end: 0.36em;
}
Use the truncate prop to truncate text with an ellipsis when it overflows its container.

Use the color prop to assign a specific color. The text colors are designed to achieve at least Lc 60 APCA contrast over common background colors.
<Flex direction="column">
<Text color="indigo">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</Text>
<Text color="cyan">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</Text>
<Text color="orange">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</Text>

<Flex direction="column">

Compose Text with formatting components to add emphasis and structure to content.
<Text as="p">
Look, such a helpful <Link href="#">link</Link>, an <Em>italic emphasis</Em>,
a piece of computer <Code>code</Code>, and even a hotkey combination{" "}
<Kbd>⇧⌘A</Kbd> within the text.

Composing Text with a form control like Checkbox, RadioGroup, or Switch automatically centers the control with the first line of text, even when the text is multi-line.
<Box maxWidth="300px">

<Flex gap="2">
<Checkbox defaultChecked /> I understand that these documents are
