Text - React Docx

Applies styling to text. Usually you don’t need it (plain strings work fine).

// Plain string - no Text needed
<Paragraph>Hello world</Paragraph>

// With styling - use Text
<Paragraph>
  Hello <Text className="font-bold text-blue-600">world</Text>
</Paragraph>

When to use Text

Don’t need it:

<Paragraph>Just plain text</Paragraph>
<H1>Plain heading</H1>

Need it:

<Paragraph>
  Mix of <Text className="font-bold">bold</Text> and normal
</Paragraph>

Rule: only wrap in <Text> when you need to apply classes.

Styling

Font weight

<Text className="font-bold">Bold</Text>
<Text className="font-extrabold">Extra bold</Text>

Font style

<Text className="italic">Italic</Text>
<Text className="underline">Underlined</Text>
<Text className="line-through">Strikethrough</Text>

Colors

<Text className="text-red-500">Red text</Text>
<Text className="text-blue-700">Dark blue</Text>
<Text className="bg-yellow-200">Highlighted</Text>

Sizes

<Text className="text-xs">Extra small</Text>
<Text className="text-sm">Small</Text>
<Text className="text-base">Base</Text>
<Text className="text-lg">Large</Text>
<Text className="text-2xl">2XL</Text>

Font family

<Text className="font-serif">Serif font</Text>
<Text className="font-mono">Monospace</Text>

Caps

<Text className="uppercase">ALL CAPS</Text>
<Text className="capitalize">Small Caps</Text>

Super/subscript

<Paragraph>
  H<Text className="align-sub text-xs">2</Text>O
</Paragraph>

<Paragraph>
  E = mc<Text className="align-super text-xs">2</Text>
</Paragraph>

Formatting shortcuts

Instead of <Text className="font-bold">, use shortcuts:

<Bold>Bold text</Bold>
<Italic>Italic text</Italic>
<Underline>Underlined text</Underline>
<Strike>Strikethrough</Strike>

Combine them:

<Bold>
  <Italic>Bold and italic</Italic>
</Bold>

<Bold className="text-red-500">Bold and red</Bold>

Combining styles

<Paragraph>
  <Text className="text-2xl font-bold text-blue-700">Big bold blue</Text>
  <Text className="text-sm text-gray-500"> (with small gray note)</Text>
</Paragraph>

Auto-generation

The React reconciler automatically wraps plain strings. This:

<Paragraph>Hello world</Paragraph>

Internally becomes:

<Paragraph>
  <Text>Hello world</Text>
</Paragraph>

You never see this (it just works). Write plain strings, add <Text> only when styling.

Common patterns

Label + value

<Paragraph>
  <Text className="font-bold">Name: </Text>John Doe
</Paragraph>

Colored keywords

<Paragraph>
  Status: <Text className="text-green-600 font-bold">Active</Text>
</Paragraph>

Fine print

<Paragraph>
  Main content here.
  <Text className="text-xs text-gray-400"> *Terms apply</Text>
</Paragraph>

Code inline

<Paragraph>
  Run <Text className="font-mono bg-gray-100">npm install</Text> to start.
</Paragraph>
