`Text`¶

Render escaped text with an explicit paragraph or inline text element.


Import	`from hedron import Text`
Distribution	`hedron`
Backend activity	No
Normal render mode	`RenderMode.FRAGMENT`

Live demo¶

Changes saved. This text is a paragraph that carries the primary message.

Updated just now · inline supporting text

The preview is a local docs simulation (not a running Hedron server). Interactive demos show a “Simulated HTMX” trace when applicable.

Basic use¶

from hedron import Stack, Text

component = Stack(Text('Changes saved.'), Text('Updated now', as_='small'))

Compose under Page for full documents, or return from a fragment route for HTMX swaps.

How it works¶

Text defaults to a paragraph and can render a span, strong, emphasis, or small element when those semantics are intentional. Content is serialized as text, so HTML-looking user input is displayed rather than executed.

This component's core behavior is server-rendered HTML and does not require a browser runtime. The preview is ordinary semantic HTML, so keyboard, form, link, and disclosure behavior comes from the platform.

Constructor and parameters¶

Text(content='', *, as_='p')

Parameter	Type	Meaning
`content`	`str`	Escaped text content.
`as_`	`p \| span \| strong \| em \| small`	Exact permitted native text element.

Composition and backend behavior¶

Keep Text at the smallest semantic boundary. Fragment routes should return only the replaced region and preserve stable target IDs across success, validation, empty, loading, and error responses.

This component is primarily presentational; keep any mutation on an explicit action or component route.

Accessibility¶

Choose strong and em for meaning rather than appearance, and use real list, heading, label, and link components when those semantics apply.

Security¶

Escaping and SafeUrl / TrustedHtml are framework concerns; authorization and data exposure remain application code. Redact secrets before rendering.

Common mistakes¶

Do not use a collection of spans to imitate a paragraph or use strong merely to obtain bold styling.
Do not copy docs-preview JavaScript into an application server.

Testing¶

from hedron import RenderMode, render

result = render(component, mode=RenderMode.FRAGMENT)
assert result.html
assert not result.diagnostics
