WordPress Gutenberg: How to Add Headings and Text

How to Add Headings and Text

You can introduce text to posts or pages with paragraph and heading blocks.

The easiest way to add a new paragraph block is by typing directly into the Gutenberg interface. Alternatively, open the block inserter and select Paragraph.

This block offers a toolbar with basic options for aligning text, styling words in bold or italics, and embedding links. Additionally, you can insert footnotes, highlights, inline images, and typographic elements like subscripts and superscripts.

On the other hand, the right-side paragraph block settings enable users to change the text’s color, typography, and dimensions to further enhance the appearance of the content.

A heading block can help structure the content, ensuring readers and search engines can understand how one section connects to another.

To insert a heading, use any of the methods previously mentioned to add WordPress blocks, then select Heading. From here, choose the appropriate heading level in the block’s toolbar – from H1 to H6.

Like the paragraph block, the heading block supports the modification of the text’s width, alignment, and other attributes from the toolbar or the side panel settings.
