FAQ index

An editorial inquiry index structured as full-width ruled rows. An airy header band leads into five numbered ledger rows.

Each row is a three-way horizontal distribution: a bold index numeral in the left rail, the question set prominent at reading scale in the centre, and the answer permanently open in the right column at a clean reading measure. States no colour and no font of its own.

What you change first

  1. The questions and answers. Five direct pairs covering your core commercial or technical policies.
  2. The count. Duplicate or remove any core/columns row along with its preceding separator.
  3. The header. Adjust the section title and lede paragraph to match your page context.

The signature moment

The numeral anchors the question and the answer is always open

The section discards the interactive accordion click in favour of an open editorial ledger. Each row is bound by full-width currentColor hairlines and structured into three synchronized columns: a prominent two-digit index numeral (01 through 05) at display scale in the left rail, the question set in the middle 38% column, and the answer packed in the right 50% column at a comfortable 32rem measure.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives

Overview

A numbered ledger FAQ structured as full-width ruled rows. An introductory header leads into five sequential inquiry rows. Each row distributes the entry across three columns: a bold display numeral on the left, the question set clearly at reading scale in the centre, and the complete answer open on the right at a bounded measure.

The signature moment: the numeral anchors the question and the answer is always open

The section discards the interactive accordion click in favour of an open editorial ledger. Each row is bound by full-width currentColor hairlines and structured into three synchronized columns: a prominent two-digit index numeral (01 through 05) at display scale in the left rail, the question set in the middle 38% column, and the answer packed in the right 50% column at a comfortable 32rem measure.

The numeral anchors the row visually, allowing visitors to scan topics quickly without layout reflow or state toggles.

The variations

  • Night index. Complete inversion of the base pattern: your theme's contrast ground with base type and hairlines following in currentColor.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast

What it inherits from your theme

  • Typeface. Inherits default theme typography for all headings and copy.
  • Palette. Built strictly on base and contrast token fallback chains.
  • Spacing presets. Uses standard core spacing presets (spacing|80, spacing|60, spacing|50, spacing|40, spacing|30) for responsive padding and gaps.

What it decides for itself

  • The three-way column distribution. 12% numeral rail, 38% question column, 50% answer column.
  • Typographic hierarchy. Display clamp for index numerals, large preset chain for questions, and medium preset chain for answers.
  • Reading measure. 32rem right-padding clamp on answer text.

Contrast

All text and numerals meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA standards (4.5:1 for body copy and 3:1 for large display numerals) across stock themes and inverted modes.

Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints

Mechanics worth knowing

  • Three-column asymmetric ledger. Uses core/columns with 12%, 38%, and 50% basis splits. At desktop and tablet, the numeral, question, and answer align horizontally across the row. On mobile viewports below 782px, WordPress stacks the columns naturally into a coherent vertical sequence.
  • Hairlines in currentColor. The wide separators between rows use is-style-wide and inherit the active text ink, ensuring they adapt automatically across light and dark theme modes without custom CSS.
  • Bounded reading measure. The answer paragraph applies padding-right: max(0rem, 100% - 32rem), maintaining optimal line length on wide screens while releasing fully on smaller displays.

The markup

17KB 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.
