# text.snippet

A short piece of code inside a sentence: an element, an intent, a command

Component: [`<Text>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/text.md) · Renders: `<code>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Text intent="text.snippet">Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.</Text>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| A short piece of code inside a sentence: an element, an intent, a command | `text.snippet` (this page) |
| A code sample of several lines | [`text.code`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/text/code.md) |
| Code named inside a sentence (rather than [`text.token`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/text/token.md)) | `text.snippet` (this page) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How text.snippet resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.
