Sections

Sections are the blocks you add to pages in the theme editor. This page lists each section you can add, with its main settings and blocks.

Most sections have a Section style group. These settings are the same in every section that has it:

Color scheme. Picks one color scheme from the theme settings.
Top spacing and Bottom spacing. Space above and below the section.
Content width. Set to Page width, Wide or Full width.
Heading size. Set to Small, Medium, Large or Extra large.
Text alignment. Left, center or right.
Corner radius. The corner radius of the section's boxes.
Divider line. Set to None, Top, Bottom or Top and bottom.

Some setting labels in the trade sections are not yet in the theme's English locale file. In those places this page gives the setting name in code, such as show_tape.
