Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
Contrast
The base pairs the theme's base and contrast chains. The styled variation sets ground and ink together on every coloured panel. Readable text targets 4.5:1, with large headings eligible for 3:1.
Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints
Responsive behaviour
The core grid reflows into fewer columns as its available width narrows. The composition becomes a single readable column on a phone.
Plugin requirements
None. This section uses core WordPress blocks and no script.
Questions
Notes from the Table: common questions
Does Notes from the Table need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Notes from the Table match my theme?
Choose by variation. Notes from the Table takes your theme’s palette; Apricot And Forest brings its own colours.
How many variations does Notes from the Table have?
2: Notes from the Table and Apricot And Forest. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Is Notes from the Table free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 50 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
Which WordPress version does it need?
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.
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.
