How blocks are arranged
- Inside a card, blocks stack one under the other, in the order you drag them in the sidebar.
- The section's Text padding and Text spacing set the space around and between them. In the Flex cards section, Text alignment aligns them; in a Text card, its own Text alignment places them.
- Blocks use the card's colors: its Text color for text and its Accent for button hovers. Only the Caption, Divider and Star rating blocks have colors of their own.
Why can I not add these blocks to other sections?
Only the Flex cards and Flex grid sections accept theme blocks. The other Highlight sections have their own fixed blocks (for example the slides of Slideshow: vertical or the testimonials of the Testimonials section), described on each section's page.
