Style sampler

This is a Heading. 

This style sampler shows the paragraph styles available on the Global Collaborative.  The name of each style is in bold and italics.

This text shows what happens when you have <no style>.  It looks similar to the Normal style, but there may not be any gap between your paragraphs. This text has no style at all.  It shows as <no style> on the drop-down menu.  You might want to give text like this some style (usually Normal).  That way, in the future, you will know that it will always look the same, no matter how the styles are changed.

Heading should be used to define the top level headings in your text.

This text is Normal.  It is used for a standard paragraph.  It is the workhorse of your page.  Use it well, and use it often.  Normal is the best style to use for general, ordinary, run of the mill, exposition.  When you are trying to get your point across, start with the Normal style. 

This is a Subheading

• Dot point.
• Dot points give you a standard list.
• Use dot points for lists that arn't numbered.

Subheadings should be used for the second level of headings in your page.

Generally, headings and subheadings have text between them.

Other styles

Here is the Literal style.  
I'm not sure what the Literal style is meant to be used for.  
Often, it is used to include code in your pages.  
But we don't do that very often.  
Please note that if you have a long line, 
it will not wrap if you use the Literal style.  
It will just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on 
and on and on and on and on and even further on.
Perhaps it is a good way to style Web addresses, 
which can sometimes cause problems with the wrapping.

Discreet style is an interesting style.  Do you use it when you want to be discreet?  To whisper?  To tell secrets?  It is virtually unreadable, so maybe that is the idea.  I don't know.  I can't imagine why you would want to use this style.

Here is a Pull-quote.  Pull quotes are generally used for short passages that attract attention. Unfortunately, you do lose the sense of continuity.

This is another Normal style paragraph, just to show the difference between Pull-quote and Normal.  It also shows the difference between Discreet and Normal. 

I'm surprised that I haven't done one of these style samplers for the Global Collaborative before.  They are very handy for showing people who to style text.

This paragraph is in the Call-out style. OK, so this is the style to use when you want a block quote.  That is, when you have a paragraph of text that is a quotation, and you want to show it as a quotation, this is the style to use.

And I think that I will just finish with a paragraph of Normal text.  This is the end of our style sampler.  I hope that you have enjoyed it.
