This section contains more specialised content blocks such as the Code Block, Classic Block, Custom HTML Block, Table Block etc..

Code Block

The Code Block allows you to add example code to your content. The code you add to this block wont be executed, it’s purely for displaying lines of code on your page.

Classic Block

The Classic Block allows you to add text content to your site using the traditional TinyMCE interface. The benefit of using the Classic Blockinstead of the Paragraph Block is that you can enter multiple paragraphs of text into the same block.

It’s also easier to add inline images and document links into the Classic Block as it provides you with an Add Media icon () that allows you to easily upload images and documents, in much the same way that you could in previous versions of WordPress, using the Classic Editor.

Custom HTML Block

The Custom HTML Block allows you to add custom HTML tags into your content. This block will also accept JavaScript code as well, but wont accept server side languages such as PHP code. You can switch between viewing the html source or previewing the HTML, using the options on the Block Toolbar.

Preformatted Block

The Preformatted Block allows you to add text that respects your spacing and tabs and is usually displayed in a monospace font.

Although this block may appear similar to the Code Block, the Code Block should only be used to display a fragment of computer code, whereas the Preformatted Block can be any text.

Pullquote Block

The Pullquote Block allows you to highlight certain text. Pull quotes are short excerpts from the your content. They’re used to pull a text passage out of the content so as to highlight and provide a visual aid to your readers.

Once you’ve added your content to your block, there are further options available in the Settings Sidebar. You can change the style of a Pullquote Block along with changing the main colour and text colour.

Table Block

The Table Block allows you to add an HTML table to your content. A Table is a structured set of data made up of rows and columns.

Once you’ve added your content to your block, there are further options available in the Settings Sidebar. When you first add a Table Block, you’re prompted for the number of columns and rows that you want. If you wish to add or remove columns or rows, use the various options available under the Edit Table toolbar icon ().

Verse Block

The Verse Block allows you to add poetry to your content. The Verse block is almost identical to the Preformatted Block in that it respects your spacing and tabs.
