# standard

The text system uses the same configuration of line-break strategies that it uses for standard UI labels.

```
static var standard: NSParagraphStyle.LineBreakStrategy { get }
```

## Discussion

This strategy optimizes for displaying shorter strings that are common in UI labels. This strategy may be unsuitable for large amounts of text.
