A Paragraph block is body text. You edit it by clicking the words in the email and typing, the same way you would in a document. Add it from the **Blocks** menu of a section or a column. Both offer it first. ## How it renders The paragraph becomes a block of text the full width of whatever holds it, wrapping at that width. Select words in the email and a small menu appears over them. It holds bold, underline, italic, strikethrough, a text colour, and a link. The three dots at the end hold subscript and superscript. A link you add from that menu can be a web address, an email address, or a phone number. HireData accepts `http`, `https`, `mailto`, and `tel`. A rendered paragraph wrapping across the width of its section, with an unsubscribe link in the brand colour and underlined, and three variable chips in the text ## Settings * **Font Family** picks the typeface, with a weight selector beside it running from Ultra Light to Heavy. The brand's own fonts sit at the top of the list, above the rest. * **Size** is a slider and a box, 8 to 48 pixels. New paragraphs start at 16. * **Color** sets the text colour and starts on the brand's surface text colour. * **Alignment** is left, centre, or right. * **Links** holds two controls for the links in this paragraph only. Both offer **Inherit**, which hands the decision back to the [template](/reference/email-builder/template#settings), and that is what a new paragraph uses. * **Link color**. * **Underlined**, **Inherit**, **Yes**, or **No**. * **Advanced** holds three controls. * **Letter Spacing**, 0 to 10. * **Line Height**, 1 to 2. * **Margin**, the gap above and below the paragraph. Type `{{` anywhere in a paragraph to drop in a variable.
