Block: Quote

The quote block has two styles, regular:

Gutenberg is more than an editor.

The Gutenberg Team

and large:

Yes, it is a press, certainly, but a press from which shall flow in inexhaustible streams, the most abundant and most marvelous liquor that has ever flowed to relieve the thirst of men!


Johannes Gutenberg

The quote blocks themselves have no alignments but the text can be aligned, bold, italic, and linked:

Block category: Common

The Common category includes the following blocks: Paragraph, image, headings, list, gallery, quote, audio, cover, video.

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. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love.

This paragraph is left aligned.

This italic paragraph is right aligned.

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 large font size, which defaults to 36px.

The huge text size defaults to 46px, but the size can be customized.

This paragraph is colorful, with a red background and white text (maybe). Colored blocks should have a high enough contrast, so that the text is readable.

Below this block, you will see a single image with a circle mask applied.

The Road Not Taken

Robert Frost 
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both          (_/)  
And be one traveler, long I stood         (='.'=)  
And looked down one as far as I could     (")_(")  
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair,  
And having perhaps the better claim,          |_/|  
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;       / @ @   
Though as for that the passing there        ( > º < )  
Had worn them really about the same,         `>>x<<´  
                                             /  O    
And both that morning equally lay  
In leaves no step had trodden black.  
Oh, I kept the first for another day!  
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,  
I doubted if I should ever come back.  
I shall be telling this with a sigh  
Somewhere ages and ages hence:  
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—  
I took the one less traveled by,  
And that has made all the difference.  



and here's a line of some really, really, really, really long text, just to see how it is handled and to find out how it overflows;

The pull quote can be aligned or wide or neither.
