Content & formatting

Silverpoint is designed for photo-led content. The feature image is the primary visual element of every post; the prose follows beneath it. The Style Guide post on the live demo shows every supported element rendered with real content — refer to it when you want to see how a particular card will look in context.

Feature image

Section titled “Feature image”

When show_feature_image is enabled (the default), the post’s feature image is displayed at full width at the top of the post, before the title and byline. The image leads; the story follows.

To suppress feature images across all posts, disable show_feature_image in Settings → Design → Customize. To remove a feature image from a single post, open the post in the Ghost editor and remove it from the post settings panel.

Captions

Section titled “Captions”

When show_captions is enabled (the default), captions beneath feature images are displayed. Silverpoint renders captions in a smaller, lighter weight beneath the image — distinct from body prose and clearly subordinate to the photograph.

Write captions as complete sentences when the image requires context. For photographs that speak without explanation, leave the caption blank.

To suppress all captions globally, disable show_captions in Settings → Design → Customize.

Image cards in the editor

Section titled “Image cards in the editor”

Image cards placed in the post body support Ghost’s standard size options — normal, wide, and full width. All three are styled in Silverpoint:

  • Normal — constrained to the reading column.
  • Wide — extends beyond the reading column but does not span the full viewport.
  • Full width — spans the full width of the page; use for photographs that need the largest possible presentation.

Captions on image cards within the post body are always shown, regardless of the show_captions setting (which applies specifically to feature images).

Section titled “Gallery cards”

Ghost’s Gallery card renders as a responsive image grid. Silverpoint supports two-column, three-column, and four-column gallery layouts. Galleries are a good way to group a set of photographs within a single post without placing each image on its own full-width card.

Typography and prose

Section titled “Typography and prose”

Body text is set at a comfortable measure with generous leading. Headings (H2–H4) step down in size within the same typeface, maintaining a restrained voice throughout. The accent color (#b89b72 by default) appears on links and small typographic marks.

Editor cards

Section titled “Editor cards”

Silverpoint styles every Ghost editor card. The full list:

  • Markdown and HTML — rendered as clean prose.
  • Quote cards — styled as a pull quote with a left accent rule.
  • Bookmark cards — styled as a link-preview block with title, description, and domain.
  • Button cards — call-to-action button matching the accent color.
  • Toggle cards — collapsible sections with a visible indicator.
  • Callout cards — a tinted aside block; all built-in background colour variants (grey, blue, green, yellow, red, pink, purple) are styled. Supports the default icon or a custom emoji.
  • Product cards — styled as a product listing with image, title, description, and call-to-action button.
  • File cards — styled as a download block with filename and file-type indicator.
  • Audio cards — styled with a native audio player matching the theme.
  • Video cards — styled with a responsive video container.
  • Header cards — styled as a large display block with configurable background and text.
  • Signup cards — styled as a membership call-to-action matching the theme’s form elements.
  • Code blocks — monospace with syntax highlighting.
  • Tables — styled with alternating row shading.
  • Dividers — thin horizontal rules with generous spacing.
  • Embed cards — YouTube, Twitter/X, and other oEmbed-compatible URLs wrapped responsively.
