Jumplines help keep your readers engaged and provide a convenient map to content your reader has already invested some time and interest in. They are an effective, established element of standard design for newspapers, magazines and newsletters.
To avoid being read as part of the article, jump lines should contrast with the main text but remain unobtrusive. Try some of these formatting options (or combine a few) for jump lines in newspaper, magazine, or newsletter design layouts.
Positioning is another way to differentiate your jump lines.
