Paragraph

Import

  import Paragraph from '@govuk-react/paragraph';

Markdown Formatter.

Supports bold, italic, links, inline code and block code in Markdown ONLY. This is to ensure we follow GDS as closely as possible. It is worth noting that GDS recommends avoiding bold and italics.

Bold should be avoided in general as not only can it dilute the message, it will also cause Screenreaders to increase the volume of any bold text to reflect the increase in font-weight.
