Particles are incredibly simple building blocks that Gantry 5 themes thrive on. They are easy to set up, require no coding experience to configure, and are built on an intuitive and human-readable Twig and YAML file structure that makes developing them a breeze. You can use particles to set up your logo, display content in a way that complements the theme design, and more.
Block variations are easy-to-use preset styles that can be applied to any content block. You can do this through the admin by navigating to the particle and/or block's settings in the Layout Manager, selecting the Block tab, and selecting them within the Variations field.
Helium comes with a robust set of typography options that you can use to bring your content to life. In this page, we will list and give examples of the many typography options you can use.
Variations
Variations are classes that can be applied inline, as well as put to use in some particles through **Variations** or applied directly to content as CSS classes.
Buttons
Buttons have a number of great variations to choose from. You should note that in the HTML breakdown we have added a button class in addition to the variation, which is a requirement for these particular variations to work. You can also combine these variations.

Blockquotes
For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document.
Default blockquote
Wrap <blockquote> around any HTML as the quote. For straight quotes we
recommend a <p>.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
<blockquote> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p> </blockquote>
Blockquote options
Style and content changes for simple variations on a standard blockquote.Naming a source
Add <small> tag for identifying the source. Wrap the name
of the source work in <cite>.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
Someone famous in Source Title
<blockquote><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p><small>Someone famous <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></small></blockquote>
Code
Inline
Wrap inline snippets of code with <code>.
<section> should be wrapped as inline.
For example, <code><section></code> should be wrapped as inline.
Note: Be sure to keep code within <pre> tags as close to the left as possible; it will render all tabs.
Basic block
Use <pre> for multiple lines of code. Be sure to escape any angle brackets in the code for proper rendering.
<p>Sample text here…</p>
<pre><p>Sample text here…</p></pre>
