Paragraph Block

I am light font weight

The paragraph block is the simplest block in the Gutenberg editor. The text can be styled to have different colors or to have a background color, as well as text-specific styling such as bolding, italicizing, underlining, and adding hyperlinks. We can even add an inline image, which can be inserted anywhere. Paragraph blocks have spacing above and below them, so two adjacent paragraph blocks will inherently space out from each other. Tip: to add a new line to a paragraph block without creating a new paragraph, hold shift before pressing enter.

Hello, I’m a paragraph. I’m pretty flexible — I can have my text bolded, italicized, underlined, striked, marked, hyperlinked, and more. I can also have inline images inserted in the middle of my sentences.
I can now have 200 font weight.

I’m another paragraph with my text color and background color modified, and my font size increased.

When working with images, we also have the option of wrapping the paragraph around the image. See wrapping text around an image for details on how to do this.

List Block

The list block is used to list elements that share some commonality or need to be shown in sequence. Lists can be unordered or ordered, rendering as bullets and numbers respectively. Sub-elements are supported as pictured below. Once again, the text inside a list block shares the same styling features as the paragraph block.

• Eggs
  • 2 cartons brown
  • 1 carton white
• Milk
• Cheese

Quote & Pullquote Blocks

The quote & pullquote blocks can be used for quoting text from sources, providing testimonials, or simply relaying a spoken quote. The quote block provides less visual emphasis, and the pullquote block more. Text inside of these blocks shares the same styling features as the paragraph block, but lacks a custom font size option.

Code Block

The code block is used for distinguishing code text from regular text on a page. It uses a monospace font so the text is aligned properly. The code block shares the same styling features as the paragraph block.

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello World!";
    return 0;
}
