Paragraph Text

Inherits from Xamarin.Forms.StackLayout

Using a normal Label for text works great, but if you have several paragraphs worth of text it won't have the best typography. Correctly styled text should have a good amount of spacing between paragraphs. This helps individuals to read the content quicker. Using a single Label will give you the proper line returns, but it won't have the best spacing.

The ParagraphText control allows you provide a text string that contains several paragraphs worth of content. It will parse this and ensure each paragraph gets its own Label. These labels will have a CSS style class of body applied to them. It's this class that applies the correct amount of margin below the Label. You can also override this class to provide a different-sized text/margin.

Properties

PropertyTypeDescription
TextstringThe text to show. This can also be provided via the content of the tag.
LabelCssClassstringA string of the CSS classes to apply to each Label that represents a paragraph. If no value is applied each paragraph will have a body class added to it.

Example

<Rock:ParagraphText>
    Leverage agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis for high level
    overviews. Iterative approaches to corporate strategy foster collaborative
    thinking to further the overall value proposition. Organically grow the
    holistic world view of disruptive innovation via workplace diversity
    and empowerment.
    Bring to the table win-win survival strategies to ensure proactive
    domination. At the end of the day, going forward, a new normal that has
    evolved from generation X is on the runway heading towards a streamlined
    cloud solution. User generated content in real-time will have multiple
    touchpoints for offshoring.
    Capitalize on low hanging fruit to identify a ballpark value added
    activity to beta test. Override the digital divide with additional
    clickthroughs from DevOps. Nanotechnology immersion along the information
    highway will close the loop on focusing solely on the bottom line.

Note

Don't worry if your paragraphs have more than one line-break between them. All extra line breaks will be ignored.
