How an article looks — a layout sample
Every block the composer can produce, on one page, so you can see the design before writing anything real. Not for publication.
هذا المقال متاح باللغة الإنجليزية فقط.
This is a standfirst. It sits under the headline, sets the piece up in a sentence or two, and is the block to reach for when a reader needs a reason to keep going.
This page exists so you can see what an article looks like before you write one. Every block the composer offers appears below at least once. Nothing here states a fact about the market, and every number is a visible placeholder — the point is the shape of the page, not what it says.
Ordinary paragraphs look like this. The measure is deliberately narrow, because a line of text running the full width of a screen is tiring to read. Emphasis comes from bold, from _italic_, and from headings — not from changing type sizes by hand, which is what stops thirty articles looking like thirty different websites.
A heading two
Use this to break a piece into its main sections. It is the largest heading available inside an article, because the headline at the top is already doing the work of the title.
A heading three
For a subsection inside one of those. Below it, the blocks from the Insert menu.
That is a stat row — three figures side by side, dropping to one column on a phone. The placeholders are deliberately obvious: if a row like this ever reaches the live site reading 00.0%, it has not been filled in.
A pull quote is for a sentence worth stopping on. One per article is usually one more than enough.
A key point is for the single thing a reader should leave with:
Every number on this page is a placeholder. Replace them, or delete the block.
A highlighted paragraph sits in a tinted panel. It suits a caveat, a definition, or a note on method — something adjacent to the argument rather than part of it.
Above this line is a divider, for a change of subject that does not warrant a new heading. Below is a spacer, which simply adds air.
What to do with this page
- Leave Keep as draft switched on while it is a sample
- Write your own article as a new entry rather than editing this one, so this stays available as a reference
- If you would rather not keep it, open it in the panel and delete it — nothing else depends on it
Lists work as you would expect:
- Choose a block from Insert rather than formatting by hand
- Fill in the summary — it is what appears on the Insights list and in Google
- Set the date, which orders the list
- Turn off Keep as draft when it is ready
One last thing. An article does not need a category: anything a reader can read appears under the Articles filter on Insights, and anything they request or download appears under its publication category. That is the whole distinction, and the panel does not ask you to make it twice.
