Big Fact Block

Use Cases

The Big Fact block is another striking way that content creators can break up long bodies of text on a webpage. In addition to helping pace readers as they work through the text of a page, the Big Fact block is useful for drawing an audience’s attention to an interesting and relevant fact to the theme of the page. Alternatively, it can be used for reiterating a significant quote. See an example of the Big Fact block below:

Features

In Gutenberg, adding a Big Fact block to a page is as easy as clicking the “Add a block” button and choosing “Big Fact” from the block list. Alternatively, the block can be found by using the “Search for a block” function. For more info on blocks and adding them to a WordPress site, see our documentation on blocks.

Once added, the Big Fact block includes space for creators to include a fact, quote, or any other important text they want to feature to draw reader’s attention. There is also space for supporting text and link.
