# textLayoutGuide

A guide for positioning the primary text in the content view.

```
var textLayoutGuide: UILayoutGuide? { get }
```

## Discussion

If the configuration doesn’t specify primary text, the value of this property is `nil`.

If you apply a new configuration without primary text to the content view, the system removes this layout guide from the view and deactivates any constraints associated with it.
