Sidebars

Sidebars are useful in longer articles or documents to call out interesting sections and break up long spans of text. The content you put in a sidebar should be fairly short, interesting, and related but not crucial to the article.

Typically people read sidebars before or after the rest of the page, so don’t use sidebars for information that should be read in sequence with the main text.
