Links within paragraphs

By default, links contained within a paragraph <p> tag will be blue in color and underlined.

• Visited links will appear purple and underlined
• Override the default appearance of links contained in paragraphs only if necessary
• Links not contained within a paragraph should follow the individual component/pattern styling as defined
  • In general, links contained within interface components will not be underlined
