The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words. Grab a paddle and let’s get started.

On the topic of alignment, it should be noted that users can choose from the options of None, Left, Right, and Center. If the theme has added support for align wide, images…

Check to make sure that the text wraps correctly when the button has more than one line of text, and when it is extra long. Buttons have three styles:  If the theme has a custom color palette, test that background color and text color settings work correctly.  Now lets test how buttons display together with large texts.

The paragraph block is the default block type.  It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy.

Neither of these paragraphs care about politics, but this one is bold, medium sized and has a drop cap. This paragraph is centered. This paragraph prefers Jazz over Justin Timberlake. It also uses the small font size. This paragraph has something important to say:  It has a…
