Example: number variations

Additional markup can be applied to improve the appearance of a statistic, but it has to be applied on an individual basis to each item, to give maximum flexibility.

Using the Stat text field you apply this to parts of the statistic using the Superscript or Subscript option on the format drop down menu in the WYSIWYG editor.

Example: icons

Any icon available in the web font is available to use as a statistic, a set palette of colours can be applied to those icons. When using icons or custom png/svg files the colour of the icons should be consistent across the page.

For icons colour is set on a page using the Pattern colour field on the Section config content type.

For custom png/svg files the colour of the files uploaded should be same across a page unless the colour gives context.
