Margins Settings

The different theme templates of WordPress are using different values of parameter box-sizing (usually content-box or border-box).

content-box: The width and height properties (and min/max properties) includes only the content. Border, padding, or margin are not included
 
border-box: The width and height properties (and min/max properties) includes content, padding and border, but not the margin

In order to the STB block does not overlap the text of paragraphs above and below, set up top and bottom margins of STB blocks.

Warning! If you change STB theme, all settings of STB will be set to default values. Do not forget to set the values of the STB box margins to your preferred values.

Text and Borders

Borders Settings

Using the parameters of block’s borders, you can configure the borders for all blocks, regardless of the block’s style. There are settings of line styles and corners of the block. The width of the border can be set in the Style Editor, for each style separately. Why? I don’t know! It’s historical legacy.

Text Settings

Font Size, Font Family – Here you can set the font size and font family for the text of block and for its caption. Setting font size value to 0 forces use of the font size value declared by the current site template.

In any case, do not use double quotation marks in the font family value fields! Use only single quotes!

Web fonts – You can use web fonts that not defined by site template for text and caption of STB block. Each font defined by you will be loaded on each page of your site. You must define only URL of web font. One URL per row.

Do not forget to define proper font family for web font(s).

Language Direction – In theory plugin determines the direction of the text using the value of the corresponding parameter of the loaded document. Check it in practice was not possible. However, you can force the required value of text direction.
