The term "body text" (or "copy") refers to the main text of a web page or design, which is usually written in paragraphs and makes up the majority of the content. Body text is used to present information, stories, descriptions or other text-based content.
Here are some examples of the use of continuous text in graphic and web design:
- Website content: The body text forms the main content of a website. It could be informative articles, product descriptions, blog posts or other texts that convey information to visitors.
- Blog posts: In a blog, the individual posts are usually presented as continuous text. Here the author can present their thoughts, experiences or opinions in a coherent manner.
- Print designs: In brochures, magazines or flyers, the body text forms the main part of the design. It contains information about the product, service or topic being presented.
Body text is important for presenting information in a coherent and easy-to-read manner. It is often complemented by visual elements such as headings, subheadings, paragraphs, bulleted lists and bullet points to better structure the text and improve readability. Careful design of the body text can create a pleasant reading experience that helps users to understand and consume the content more easily.
