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

Property	Type	Description
Text	string	The text to show. This can also be provided via the content of the tag.
LabelCssClass	string	A 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.

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