What you change first
- The questions and answers. Five direct pairs covering your core commercial or technical policies.
- The count. Duplicate or remove any
core/columnsrow along with its preceding separator. - 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 numeral anchors the row visually, allowing visitors to scan topics quickly without layout reflow or state toggles.

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
baseandcontrasttoken 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,
largepreset chain for questions, andmediumpreset 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/columnswith 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 useis-style-wideand 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
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
