Highlight

Whereas a link list drives a user to action after consuming the main content of a text module, a highlight component provides an opportunity to more deeply consume the module's content without parsing through the main paragraphs of the text module.

By providing quick snippets with a header, short teaser, and accompanying visual, highlights allow skimmers to momentarily consume more information than they would if simply skimming the headlines of the main modules. The headers of a highlight can be thought of an intermediary type of content between the titles of a module and the paragraphs of a text module -- they simply provide a way to consume content without the reader committing to a full paragraph.
