What you change first

  1. The dialogue questions. Four substantive questions addressing core product decisions.
  2. The guide rail copy. Customise the left-column intro and engineering contact text.
  3. The count. Duplicate or remove any inquiry row and its surrounding separator.

The signature moment

The structural Q and A marks in the margin

The pattern models an editorial interview transcript. Each inquiry is presented as a two-column row with a 10% hanging rail carrying a bold typographic "Q." in role-label, followed by the question set at large reading scale and the substantive answer directly below it. Full-width currentColor hairlines mark the transition between questions.

Overview

An editorial interview-style FAQ. A two-column layout places a contextual guide rail on the left beside a sequence of open dialogue entries on the right. Each entry hangs bold typographic "Q." marks in a narrow sub-rail beside the question and answer, establishing an authoritative editorial cadence where every answer is read straight through without clicking.

The signature moment: the structural Q and A marks in the margin

The pattern models an editorial interview transcript. Each inquiry is presented as a two-column row with a 10% hanging rail carrying a bold typographic "Q." in role-label, followed by the question set at large reading scale and the substantive answer directly below it. Full-width currentColor hairlines mark the transition between questions.

This layout discards accordion toggles in favor of immediate, frictionless reading ideal for long-form whitepapers, technical documentation, or founder dialogues.

Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first

The variations

  • Night dialogue. The inversion axis: contrast ground, base text, and structural "Q." marks in role-label against the dark surface.

What you change first

  1. The dialogue questions. Four substantive questions addressing core product decisions.
  2. The guide rail copy. Customise the left-column intro and engineering contact text.
  3. The count. Duplicate or remove any inquiry row and its surrounding separator.
Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast

What it inherits from your theme

  • Typeface. Inherits theme font families for editorial headings and body text.
  • Palette. Built strictly on base and contrast token fallback chains.
  • Spacing presets. Standard spacing tokens for vertical gutters and padding.

What it decides for itself

  • Asymmetric two-column ratio. 36% editorial guide rail and 64% inquiry stream.
  • Hanging glyph alignment. 10% sub-rail for the structural "Q." mark.
  • Reading measure. 32rem right-padding boundary on answer copy.

Contrast

All text elements, structural glyphs, and headings meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements across all theme targets.

Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints

Mechanics worth knowing

  • Two-tier column architecture. Outer core/columns splits the sticky editorial rail (36%) from the dialogue flow (64%). Within each inquiry row, nested columns split the hanging "Q." glyph (10%) from the question and answer body (90%).
  • Continuous reading flow. All four questions and answers are open by default, allowing smooth document scanning and browser search (Cmd+F) access.
  • Hairlines in currentColor. Dividing rules inherit active text ink, adapting cleanly across light and dark theme surfaces.

The markup

15KB of core-block markup, 6 blocks (column, columns, group, heading, paragraph, separator), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.

Lead question, rest on a rail rendered in Twenty Twenty-FiveShot in Twenty Twenty-FiveFAQFAQStandard

Lead question, rest on a rail

One question answered in full with the other eight on a rail beside it: a tracked eyebrow, a question set at up to 56px and an answer that is always open hold a 55% column, and eight small disclosure rows run down a single ruled 45% column on the right, starting on a rule so the rail reads as a table from its first line.
