Big Fact Block

Use Cases

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

Once the Big Fact block has been added to a page, it provides space for creators to include a fact, quotation or any other important text they want to use to draw readers’ attention. There is also space for supporting text and a link.
