Sample feature: the furniture in action

How the magazine furniture renders on the web

ADVERTISEMENT

This is a sample feature created automatically so you can see how the new Feature type renders. The display headline, the kicker beneath it and this drop-cap opening are all part of the template. Everything below shows the furniture you can drop in from the inserter under Patterns → Astor Features.

Write the body exactly as you would a normal article. Between the paragraphs you can break out a key statistic, a call-out box, a contributor card or a pull quote, and they will sit in the flow with the print-style skin applied.

Drop a standout line straight from the copy to pull the reader in.

The pull quote block

Stat panel

The “In Numbers” panel takes a heading, any number of stat rows (a figure plus a line of context) and a source line.

Breakout box

What the breakout box is for

Use it for a definition, a key takeaway or a short aside that should sit apart from the main flow. It is just a styled group block, so you can put anything inside it.

Author / expert card

Name Surname

Job title, Company

Click the media area to add a headshot, then edit the name, role and blurb. Good for a quoted expert or a contributor box.

That is the full set. Delete this sample once you are happy with how it all renders, then build your own from a blank Feature.
