Paragraph

Body text at any size, in any tag.

Paragraph renders body copy. Like Heading, it separates the element from the style: tag decides what it is in the markup, variant decides how it looks.

Props

Prop	Type	Default	What it does
`render`	`boolean`	`true`	Set to `false` to skip this component and everything inside it.
`tag`	`"p" \| "span" \| "div"`	`"p"`	The element to render. Use `span` for a run of text inside something else.
`variant`	`"inherit" \| "display" \| "h1"–"h6" \| "large" \| "main" \| "small"`	`"inherit"`	The text style. `inherit` keeps whatever the surrounding context uses.
`maxWidth`	`number`	None	A maximum width in `ch` units. Around 60–70 is a comfortable reading measure.

Measure

Long lines are hard to read. maxWidth is in ch units (the width of a zero in the current font), so the cap follows the type size rather than being a pixel value that stops making sense when the text scales.
