Prosecomponent

A section of longform text containing lots of <p> or <ul> style elements.

• Applies the prose variant of every block and inline component so nested content picks up the right longform spacing and typography.

A wrapper that applies cohesive longform typography to a subtree of mixed HTML content. Wrap any block of paragraphs, lists, headings, code, tables, and inline annotations in <Prose> and they pick up the right spacing and type in one step — including raw HTML elements emitted by a markup renderer.

Things to know:

• Prose applies the "prose" variant of every block and inline component as a single compound class, so raw <p>, <ul>, <h2>, <code>, <a>, <progress>, etc. are styled to match their component counterparts (<Paragraph>, <List>, <Heading>, <Code>, <Link>, <Progress>, …).
• This is the bridge for markup: wrap shelving/markup output (or anything that emits raw HTML) in <Prose> and it just works — no per-element component wrapping needed.
• It only sets up typography and its own outer margin; it paints no colour and adds no box of its own.

Usage

Prose content from a renderer

import { Prose, Markup } from "shelving/ui";

<Prose>
  <Markup>{article.body}</Markup>
</Prose>

Hand-written longform

import { Prose, Paragraph } from "shelving/ui";

<Prose>
  <Paragraph>First.</Paragraph>
  <Paragraph>Second.</Paragraph>
</Prose>

Styling

Prose exposes no own hooks. It only stamps the "prose" variant class onto its <div>; the longform typography of nested content is themed through each block/inline component's own hooks (e.g. --paragraph-space, --heading-size), not through Prose itself.
