Managing complex content with the Columns block

With the Columns block, you can create complex layouts on your MereChurch page. A Columns block can be between 1-3 columns, and sets off its content with a slightly different background color and padding. You can create various 'sections' on your page easily with a set of columns blocks.

What if I just want to use columns for two or three sets of paragraph text?

Here, the extra padding and spacing is an annoyance!

If you are adding text-only columns to your page, it could be an annoyance to have to deal with the extra background and padding that the columns block adds by default. We've added in an advanced use case for this scenario: place the columns block immediately following an H2, H3, or H4, and MereChurch will automatically detect that you want to treat this heading as the 'title' for the following columns block. It will adjust your styling so that you get text-only columns, like so:

Ah, that's much better! Now, it's just like having three paragraphs in line.
