The para method is just one of the text containers available to you when you're using Shoes. To make other text containers, use one of the title, subtitle, tagline, caption, para or inscription methods. Each of these methods has a different text size, so the size defined by the container will determine the size of any text or formatted text inside of the container.
Shoes.app :width => 380, :height => 280 do
stack do
title "Title"
subtitle "Subtitle"
tagline "Tagline"
caption "Caption"
para "Paragraph"
inscription "Inscription"
end
end
