In your ``config.yml``, as described in :doc:`/config`, you can specify custom names of colors. For example, ``'foreground'``.
Gradients
--------
---------
In most places where colors are allowed, you may also supply a string that defines a gradient. Squib supports two flavors of gradients: linear and radial. Gradients are specified by supplying some xy coordinates, which are relative to the card (not the command). Each stop must be between ``0.0`` and ``1.0``, and you can supply as many as you like. Colors can be specified as above (in any of the hex notations or built-in constant). If you add two or more colors at the same stop, then the gradient keeps the colors in the in order specified and treats it like sharp transition.

The :doc:`/dsl/text` method is a particularly powerful method with a ton of options. Be sure to check the option-by-option details in the DSL reference, but here are the highlights.

Laying out text by typing in numbers can be confusing. What Squib calls "hints" is merely a rectangle around the text box. Hints can be turned on globally in the config file, using the :doc:`/dsl/hint` method, or in an individual text method. These are there merely for prototyping and are not intended for production. Additionally, these are not to be conflated with "rendering hints" that Pango and Cairo mention in their documentation.
Extents
------
-------
Sometimes you want size things based on the size of your rendered text. For example, drawing a rectangle around card's title such that the rectangle perfectly fits. Squib returns the final rendered size of the text so you can work with it afterward. It's an array of hashes that correspond to each card. The output looks like this::

Embedding Images
------------------
----------------
Squib can embed icons into the flow of text. To do this, you need to define text keys for Squib to look for, and then the corresponding files. The object given to the block is a ``TextEmbed``, which supports PNG and SVG. Here's a minimal example::
