]When building Storybook components in isolation, we've always been stuck with what to do with portable text inside of components.
It's fairly simple if you're using a tool like Tailwind CSS with prose, but you may want to tune your typography granularly in other circumstances.
Above there are two versions
- Long-form
- This is used for something like a blog, feel free to take any part of it out, and swap it around. It includes all different heading styles from <h1> to <h6>, and includes bold, italics, unordered list and ordered list.
- Short-form
- This is what you would use for an example of portable text within a hero, or image + text block.
