Blocks

In this WordPress block reference you can learn more about the blocks that you can use to build your site. The block reference is meant to be a tool for developers, and I try to present information that is parsed from the WordPress source code in a readable way.

If you are not a technical user, there may be terms on these pages that sound unfamiliar, and I recommend visiting the WordPress user documentation instead.
