Each block guide follows the same simple shape, so once you've read one, you'll know your way around the rest:
- What it is — a one-paragraph description of the block and where you'd use it.
- A live example — the block rendered on the page so you can see what it looks like.
- The choices that matter — the handful of settings worth understanding before you start.
- Tips and traps — the small details that catch people out the first time.
