Component Guide
WYSIWYG-Compatible Blocks
Accordion
Accordions are expandable containers that are great for breaking up content into smaller, easily read sections.
Each accordion has a title, configured in the block tab in the editor sidebar, which should let the user know what to expect when they click on the accordion. Each accordion also contains content; this can include anything that can go inside a WYSIWYG.
Link List
Link Lists have two style options: Button (one or two column) or Link (one column).
Button Style: One Column
Button Style: Two Columns

Butler Directory
The Butler Directory block pulls information for faculty and staff from the directory by username. Simply list the usernames of each individual you wish to display, separated by a comma. This list can be automatically alphabetized, if desired.
Design Blocks
Groups
Placing blocks inside a Group ensures they stay grouped together. This can be used to apply background colors, to keep images sorted together, and for all sorts of other users.
Groups may be transformed into Rows or Stacks, if desired.
These two paragraph blocks are in a group together.
This allows for them to be set together in a section with a different background color from the rest of the page.
Rows
Rows organize blocks horizontally.
Stack
Stacks organize blocks vertically. This works well combined with the Columns block, using one Stack per Column.
Columns
Columns allow sets of blocks to be displayed side-by-side. Most pages can fit no more than three columns comfortably.
Columns cannot be added inside WYSIWYG blocks.
This paragraph is in column 1.
This paragraph is in column 2.
Separators
Separators add a line to visually separate content. There are three styles available: Default, Wide Line, and Dots.
Default
Wide Line
Dots
Spacers
This invisible block can be used to add space between other blocks on the page. The height, or the amount of space added, can be adjusted. For example, below are two sets of Separators with Spacers in between. The first set has 50 pixels in between, while the second set has 150 pixels in between.

Full-Width Blocks
These blocks must be placed outside of a WYSIWYG. They should also not be placed inside accordions or design blocks, as they will not display correctly.

It can be set up to pull only events from a specific category or with a specific tag. If there are no applicable events to display, the block will automatically hide itself.
Full Width Video/Image
This component features a video or image that takes over the screen as the user scrolls. It also allows for up to two lines of large text for emphasis above the image/video.
