- fullscreen fullbleed magazine layouts
- truly responsive across all your devices
- touch, mouse and keyboard friendly pagination, no more scrolling
- multi-column articles
- high quality typography
- drop-caps

Using Storyform
Storyform is built to work with mainly HTML5 standard semantic article content. It attempts to remove any inline styling or extraneous elements and simply uses the underlying semantic elements. It then applies it’s template layout and styling that you chose for the post. Storyform does not support:
<object>based videos or content<iframe>embedded elements other than YouTube, Vimeo videos- links or alignment attributes on embedded media

FAQ
- Can I get an application key?
-
Absolutely, just signup at https://storyform.co/#signup.
- When I preview my page it shows up blank. What’s going on?
-
Storyform is still a bit fragile. We are working out the kinks. Start by going to your post’s content and ensuring that there aren’t any funny elements (
<object>tags,<iframe>s or other interesting elements). Remove them one by one and see if that helps. If not, please contact us at hello at storyform.co
