Blocs dividers and Drop Caps

[pixelarte]

@norm
I’m currently rebuilding a Rapidweaver site in blocs but have hit two issues:

1. customising dividers (in RW I have a stack that allows me to customise a divider with a font awsome icon in the centre see attached). This doesn’t seem possible in Blocs with it’s quite limited divider bric option.
2. Adding Drop Caps at the beginnings of paragraphs. In RW I am using a free stack (similar to Blocs Brics) called Scribe to achieve this.

Is there anyway of achieving these in Blocs?

This topic might help with part of your question:

Please, help about Drop Caps? (dropcap)

Hello everyone! I searched this forum for mentions of “drop cap” and “dropcap” and I can’t find anything relevant, so I am sorry I’m bothering you with this. I have a big paragraph bric with lots of text. Actually it’s the first chapter of a book. What I am trying to achieve is have the first letter of each paragraph in the paragraph bric to be a drop cap. I have also searched for drop caps online, and there are several ways to get it via CSS, but when I copied the css code in the Code Editor…

Hey @pixelarte,

1. Not a 1 click solution for this one. You would have to build your own using columns, dividers and an icon Bric.

You can checkout this Example project. (29.5 KB)

2. We have a video on The Blocs Academy that covers this.

I hope that helps.

@TrevReav and @Norm Thank you both for a great solution.
@Norm Is it possible to change the left and right margins on the icon bric ? - they are just a bit large?
