```

## Examples

### Default

```jsx
<section>
  <SectionIntro>
    <SectionIntro.Label>Label</SectionIntro.Label>
    <SectionIntro.Heading>Focus on solving bigger problems</SectionIntro.Heading>
    <SectionIntro.Description>
      Spend less time creating boilerplate and repetitive code patterns, and more time on what matters: building great
      software. Write a comment describing the logic you want and GitHub Copilot will immediately suggest code to
      implement the solution.
    </SectionIntro.Description>
    <SectionIntro.Link href="#">Explore docs</SectionIntro.Link>
  </SectionIntro>
</section>
```

### Alignment

The content alignment can be changed using the `align` prop on the root `SectionIntro`. This can be configured to either `start` or `center`.

```jsx
<section>
  <SectionIntro align="center">
    <SectionIntro.Label>Label</SectionIntro.Label>
    <SectionIntro.Heading>Focus on solving bigger problems</SectionIntro.Heading>
    <SectionIntro.Description>
      Spend less time creating boilerplate and repetitive code patterns, and more time on what matters: building great
      software. Write a comment describing the logic you want and GitHub Copilot will immediately suggest code to
      implement the solution.
    </SectionIntro.Description>
    <SectionIntro.Link href="#">Explore docs</SectionIntro.Link>
  </SectionIntro>
</section>
```
