Even the image below this paragraph block is a block:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you start on a blank page, you will see this placeholder text where the first block will be placed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you click on this placeholder and start typing, it will default to a paragraph block. Pressing return while typing will end that paragraph block and start a new one, once again showing you the placeholder text of “Type \/ to chose a block”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want a block type other than a paragraph (e.g. heading, image, button or other special feature), either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Click the placeholder text and, as it says, type a forward slash. A list of available blocks will pop up. Select the desired block type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Select the “+” button to the right of the block placeholder text and select from the pop-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A block’s type can be changed easily. In the example below, a paragraph is changed to a heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Make sure the block is selected. In the toolbar above the block, click the left most icon (in this case the paragraph icon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Select the block type you wish to transform to (note: the type of blocks available will depend on the original block type. E.g. you won’t be able to transform a paragraph block to an image block).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The paragraph has been transformed into a heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All content you insert into a page is one of a type of “block.” This paragraph you are reading is […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":995,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2103","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2103"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2103\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2381,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2103\/revisions\/2381"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Placeholder](\"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/communications\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2024\/05\/768x450.png\")
