Layout

KitSection

Content section with a heading and optional description.

Set title and description, then place content in its children. Adjust gap to space the introduction and content.

Text wraps and follows theme.text-scale. Empty strings do not add text blocks.

Complete example

This complete Slint file is a visual composition used to produce the screenshot above. Internal strings without a label property retain the kit’s default language; system dialogs follow the host platform. Projected state and callbacks requesting a decision need host wiring; the standalone fixture does not supply that controller. Set up the Rust project, then see the typed controller application for working editing, validation and selection.
