Longform Heading

Longform headings provide a full-width headline, summary, and byline for use in immersive stories.

Open Full Example
<div class="longform-heading">
  <div class="longform-heading__background"><img src="/test-image-background.png" alt="Test Image" /></div>
  <h1 class="longform-heading__title">Longform Title</h1>
  <div class="longform-heading__author">By Firstname Lastname</div>
  <div class="longform-heading__summary">This is the longform summary paragraph.</div>
</div>
  • Use at the start of immersive stories
  • Don’t use mid-page: This component is intended for the lead-in for a story.
  • Don’t use for font-styling: Fonts should be styles using the typography utility classes.
  • Don’t use on non-full-width pages: These styles are intended to go full width, using on pages with a sidebar will result in awkward design.
  • Ensure Text Contrast: If you are using a background image, ensure the text over it has proper contrast.
  • Ensure Proper Heading Levels: Longform headings use H1 level headings in the template defaults. Ensure this is the correct heading level to use when adding them to the page, and adjust as needed.
