Content grid-4 component

The content grid-4 is a 2-by-2 layout of text blocks – a great way to promote and link users to other content using short text.

You can use it in either an advice page or content page template, below the rich text editor (RTE).

Options:

• you can give the grid an H2 header but it’s not required

• each block lets you format text as normal text or H3

• include hyperlinks

• include a border beneath each row of text blocks

• you can leave any block empty e.g. just use the first three blocks

If you have more than four blocks of text, you can stack two or more components.

Limitations: You can't embed images or any other content within the grid.
