Links

By default, links contained within a paragraph <p> tag will be blue in color.

  • Override the default appearance of links contained in paragraphs only if necessary.
  • Links not contained within a paragraph should follow the individual component/pattern styling as defined.
  • In general, links contained within interface components will not be underlined.
