These are real renders from the API with the example values in the table below. Switch the size above: the same template lays itself out for all 6 sizes — send size or sizes with the request.
For glossary pages, documentation, education and dictionaries generating one card per term. The headword shrinks to fit, the definition shrinks and then clamps, and the example keeps a few lines in its note. A thumb-index tab with the term's first letter sits on the right edge. Wide frames put the example in the outer margin beside the definition; square and vertical frames move it under the definition.
Fields
Every field is optional. Long text shrinks to fit instead of overflowing; an image field takes a public URL that we fetch on our side.

For anything more, copy the template into your account: you get an ordinary HTML template with the same fields that you can edit in the dashboard or through the API. If the slug is free on your account, the copy takes it — your integrations switch to your version without changing a line.
