Adding pull quotes in Gutenberg

by Aug 9, 2018WordPress Tutorials - WP Tutorials, Gutenberg, WordPress 5.0

Pull Quotes are an important feature in many online publishing platforms.  In the new Gutenberg editor for WordPress, this is made really simple and intuitive. 

The look of the pull quote on the front of your site is still determined by your particular theme setup, but implementing it will be the same across most themes.

1. The first step is to open  Gutenberg Editor |  and click add new button

Step 3 The quote edit window will appear. From here, you’ll be able to select how your quote will align with your other blocks. Enter the text for your quote, and style the text (bold, italicize, add a strike through). You also have an option to add css classes to the quote.
