Main body content (sample)
Uses the Main body content container and Emphasised lead text patterns, and other standard content, to convey information to a reader. The .body-content-text
here might also have the column column--primary
classes applied, depending on the context. (Columnizing this content is usually recommended, to maintain a width that’s optimal for reading.)

and the page title takes <h2>
).
