Designing a content block with two sides of information.

An interactive, dual-sided block can be useful to help defer complexity for users, allowing access to deeper information only when needed.

Designating a block to 'spin' with two sides of content is a fairly straightforward process of adding two instances of the HTML Wrap Macro (one for each side) and doing so within one block. The content desired for each side of the block is added inside each of the macros.

Use h4 for section headings

If you don't want numbers in the section headings, simply remove the "numbered" class from this block.

Note/Tip/Warning/Info blocks below are collapsed by default. If you want to use any of these, try to keep to just one per page. You may use two if necessary, but in general, try to limit these.

If using:

  1. Replace me with something to note about this how-to entry that falls outside the scope of all other sections; and
  2. Add the tight-bottom class to the Steps block above to narrow the gap between the two blocks.

  2. Add the tight-bottom class to the next visible/non-collapsed block above this one to narrow the gap between the two blocks.

  • Replace me with a link
  • Replace me with a link
  • Aim for 4 or fewer related links.  If we need more, that's okay.  Be judicious.  Delete me when you're done.
