Content Block Guide

Overview

The Content Block feature allows you to control the layout and formatting of your text and media elements. This guide will help you understand the available options and how to use them effectively.

Column Width Options

You can adjust the width of your content blocks to create varied layouts:

  • 1/3 width: Creates a narrow column, ideal for sidebars or complementary content
  • 1/2 width: Standard two-column layout
  • 2/3 width: Wider column that leaves space for a smaller sidebar
  • Full width: Spans the entire page width

These width options can be used to offset content and create visual interest across your page.

Text Formatting Options

Within your content blocks, several text formatting options are available:

Heading Levels

Structure your content with various heading sizes (H2-H5) to establish hierarchy and improve readability.

Lists

  • Create unordered lists (bullet points) for non-sequential items
  • Use ordered lists (numbered) for sequential or prioritized information

Text Styling

Enhance your text with:

  • Bold for emphasis
  • Italic for subtle distinction
  • Underline for highlighting important points

Alignment

Control text positioning with:

  • Left alignment (default)
  • Center alignment
  • Right alignment
  • Justified text (aligned to both margins)

Additional Elements

  • Insert horizontal line breaks to separate content sections
  • Upload and embed images directly within your text
  • There is a smooth animation for the content to appear on the page for you already!

Best Practices

  • Use consistent heading levels to maintain proper document hierarchy
  • Combine different column widths to create visual interest
  • Ensure adequate contrast between text and background
  • Use formatting options sparingly to maintain a professional appearance
