If you’d like to see how it looks in action, here are some example pages using the Illinois Theme and WordPress blocks.

Editor choice: WordPress offers two different editors, known as “classic” and “Gutenberg”. Some of these features depend on using the Gutenberg editor; others will work with either editor. This will be indicated with “Gutenberg editor only” or “Either editor” annotations.

This documentation primarily shows Gutenberg examples because of the theme-specific customization; we didn’t modify the classic editor’s interactions.
