Paragraphs and inline text

This is a normal paragraph. Authors should use ordinary paragraphs for the main body of a Story. Longer Stories are easier to read when broken into sensible sections.

Bold text can add emphasis. Italic text is useful for titles, quoted words or light emphasis. This is an example text link.

This is small text, suitable for secondary notes where the editor provides that option.
