Page Section (sections/page.liquid)

sections/page.liquid renders individual page content with a customizable narrow page width. It displays the page title and content in a centered, constrained layout with responsive padding controls. The section is designed for content-focused pages like About, Terms, or Policy pages.

Dependencies & Assets

Type	Files / Components
CSS	section-page.css, inline {% style %} block for responsive padding and page width
Data	Relies on the page object (title, content)

• No JavaScript dependencies; the section is purely presentational.
• All styling controlled via CSS with dynamic page width setting.
• Content is rendered from the page object provided by Shopify.

Dynamic Styles

Inline styles generate responsive padding and dynamic page width:

{%- style -%}
  .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
    padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
    padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
  }

  .page-width--narrow {
    max-width: {{ section.settings.max_page_width_narrow }}px;
    margin: 0 auto;
  }

  @media screen and (min-width: 769px) {
    .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
      padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
      padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
    }
  }
{%- endstyle -%}

• Responsive padding: Mobile uses 75% of configured padding (rounded to whole pixels), desktop (≥769px) uses full value.
• Page width: max_page_width_narrow controls maximum content width (600–1200px, default 1000px, step 25px).
• Centering: Page width uses margin: 0 auto for horizontal centering.

Markup Structure

<div class="page-width page-width--narrow section-{{ section.id }}-padding">
  <h1 class="main-page-title page-title">
    {{ page.title | escape }}
  </h1>
  <div class="rte">
    {{ page.content }}
  </div>
</div>

• Container: Uses page-width and page-width--narrow classes for constrained, centered layout.
• Title: Page title displayed as H1 with main-page-title and page-title classes.
• Content: Page content rendered in a rte (rich text editor) container for proper HTML formatting.

---

Behavior

• Purely presentational; there's no JavaScript.
• Content width is constrained for better readability on large screens.
• Responsive padding adapts to viewport size.
• Rich text content supports HTML formatting via the rte class.

Implementation Notes

1. Translation keys: Section name and all setting labels use translation filters (t:sections.main-page.name, t:labels.page_width_narrow, t:sections.all.padding.*).

2. Page object: This section requires a page object context. It's typically used on page template pages where Shopify automatically provides the page object.

3. Rich text content: Content is rendered in a rte (rich text editor) container, which applies styling for HTML content created in the Shopify admin.

4. Page width control: The max_page_width_narrow setting allows merchants to control content width for optimal readability. The narrow width is ideal for long-form content.

5. Responsive breakpoint: Desktop padding applies at 769px; ensure this aligns with the theme's global breakpoint strategy.

6. Text escaping: Page title is escaped using the escape filter for security. Page content is not escaped as it may contain HTML from the rich text editor.

7. CSS class dependencies: Section relies on page-width class being defined in theme CSS. The page-width--narrow class is dynamically styled via inline styles.

8. Content formatting: The rte class should be styled in section-page.css to properly format rich text content (paragraphs, headings, lists, etc.).

9. SEO considerations: Page title uses <h1> tag, which is appropriate for page templates. Ensure proper heading hierarchy if other headings exist in page content.

10. Accessibility: Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy. Ensure section-page.css includes appropriate typography and spacing for readability.
