title: Notes in the margin
|
||
date: 2026-08-22
|
||
description: Every mark this site knows how to make — body type, asides, notices, redaction, quotes, lists, code, and images.
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
This page is a working sample, not an essay. Walk it when you change type, color, or a content component. The **description** above is the article lead — bold, then the body.
|
||
|
||
Ordinary copy sits in the column. You can *emphasize*, **stress**, or [link out](https://jaronpate.com). A thought that does not belong in the sentence can sit beside it. :margin-note[(A margin note. Wide screens put it in the right gutter. Narrow screens drop it under the paragraph.)] Parentheticals you can actually skip.
|
||
|
||
## Headings
|
||
|
||
`h2` and `h3` share one italic, muted style. Use them as section marks, not display type.
|
||
|
||
### A third-level mark
|
||
|
||
Still the same size and color. Hierarchy is the word, not the weight.
|
||
|
||
## Margin notes
|
||
|
||
Two notes in one stretch of text, so you can see them stack.
|
||
|
||
The first is a mutter. :margin-note[(First note — should sit next to this sentence.)] A little later, a second one arrives. :margin-note[(Second note. On a wide screen these should not collide with the column.)] Between them the column keeps moving.
|
||
|
||
```md
|
||
:margin-note[(like this)]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Notices
|
||
|
||
A notice interrupts on purpose. It stays in the column.
|
||
|
||
::notice
|
||
**In-column.** Use this when the aside *is* the point for a minute. Navy, hard to miss, still inside the measure.
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
```md
|
||
::notice
|
||
**In-column.**
|
||
::
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And when it needs to break the column:
|
||
|
||
::notice{bleed}
|
||
**Bleed.** Same idea, edge to edge. Save it for the one time in a piece you actually want to shout.
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
```md
|
||
::notice{bleed}
|
||
**Bleed.**
|
||
::
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Redaction
|
||
|
||
A span can be set in Redaction. `strength` is a grade: `0` is the clean face, `100` is almost gone. Other numbers snap to `0`, `10`, `20`, `35`, `50`, `70`, or `100`. Default is `35`.
|
||
|
||
```md
|
||
:redacted[these words]{strength="50"}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Same phrase, every grade:
|
||
|
||
- 0 — :redacted[the record is still intact]{strength="0"}
|
||
- 10 — :redacted[the record is still intact]{strength="10"}
|
||
- 20 — :redacted[the record is still intact]{strength="20"}
|
||
- 35 — :redacted[the record is still intact]{strength="35"}
|
||
- 50 — :redacted[the record is still intact]{strength="50"}
|
||
- 70 — :redacted[the record is still intact]{strength="70"}
|
||
- 100 — :redacted[the record is still intact]{strength="100"}
|
||
|
||
Inline, mixed into a sentence: the filing names :redacted[a person we will not repeat]{strength="20"}, then later :redacted[almost nothing remains]{strength="100"}.
|
||
|
||
**Bold around** :redacted[a redacted span]{strength="50"} should pick Redaction Bold.
|
||
|
||
## Blockquote
|
||
|
||
The pointing hand sits in the gutter. Use it for a quote, or a line you want pointed at.
|
||
|
||
> The best sticking point is the way using the thing *feels*. Everything else is infrastructure.
|
||
|
||
## Lists
|
||
|
||
Unordered, for a pile of equals:
|
||
|
||
- Plantin for reading
|
||
- Space Mono for the wordmark, footer, and code
|
||
- Redaction only where you ask for it
|
||
|
||
Ordered, when sequence matters:
|
||
|
||
1. Write the sentence
|
||
2. Park the mutter in a margin note
|
||
3. Redact what should stay almost-said
|
||
|
||
## Code
|
||
|
||
Inline: the helper is `resolveRedactionStrength`, and the shortcode is `:redacted`.
|
||
|
||
A block:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
const grade = resolveRedactionStrength(strength);
|
||
const family = redactionFamily(grade);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Image
|
||
|
||
A figure in the column. This is an old Edlink shot, just to see the matte and radius.

|
||
|
||
That’s the set. Margin for a mutter. Notice for a point. Redaction when the words should still be there, barely. Everything else is ordinary prose.
