One of my favourite blocks in the current version of Gutenberg is the “Cover”. It’s perfect to break up content into sections using large full-width images.
However, if your page template has a container, the cover will stay within that container and while it does look ok, you might want to stretch it past the container all the way to the edge of the browser window.
It’s a common style of block I need to reproduce while transitioning a site from WPBakery Page Builder to Gutenberg (not something I can recommend yet but I think it’ll be a common thing people will do eventually). Moving away from the shortcode-laden output of WPBakery seems to be more future-proof than trying to live with it for the next few years. But that’s for another post. Let’s get started!
