The hairline that closes each row runs only under the text half, so the rule changes sides with the picture and the section never squares up on one edge. Example images are included and can be replaced in the editor. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/feature-alternating.html)Stats Stat callout A high-impact framed spotlight plaque: a central marquee figure and bold executive statement sit above a ruled three-part corroboration shelf enclosed within the same 1px currentColor architectural frame. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/stat-callout.html)Compare Compact comparison rows A mobile-first responsive comparison layout using stacked capability cards: each row pairs a feature title and summary with a side-by-side comparison block, avoiding horizontal table scrolling on small screens. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/compare-compact-rows.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.
