## Description

**Scintilla Blocks** is a lightweight Gutenberg blocks library and page builder 
for the WordPress block editor. Build landing pages, FAQ sections, hero areas, service
grids, testimonial sliders, and full website layouts with 13 advanced custom blocks—
no shortcodes, no third-party page builders, no bloat.

Every block ships with responsive controls (desktop / tablet / mobile), typography,
colors, backgrounds, borders, hover effects, and an advanced section for margin,
padding, z-index, and CSS ID. A central admin dashboard lets you enable or disable
any block and configure global breakpoints.

#### Why Scintilla Blocks

 * **Native Gutenberg** — built on the WordPress block API. No iframes, no canvas
   hacks, no separate editor.
 * **Full Site Editing (FSE) ready** — works in the post editor, the site editor,
   templates, and template parts.
 * **Responsive everywhere** — every spacing, typography, and layout control has
   Desktop / Tablet / Mobile tabs.
 * **Zero front-end bloat** — inline CSS only emitted for blocks that have values
   set; no jQuery, no global stylesheet.
 * **Admin dashboard** — toggle each block on or off and configure tablet / mobile
   breakpoints from one screen.
 * **Translation-ready** — full text domain support, GPL-2.0-or-later licensed, 
   WordPress.org coding standards.

#### Included Blocks

 * **Container** — Elementor-style flex and grid container with backgrounds (color,
   gradient, image), borders, box-shadow, responsive spacing, and inner blocks support.
   Build any section, hero, or column layout.
 * **Heading** — advanced heading block (H1–H6) with responsive typography, gradient
   text, text-shadow, letter spacing, and link controls.
 * **Paragraph** — advanced paragraph / rich-text block with responsive font size,
   line height, drop cap, and column count.
 * **Button** — advanced button with icons, hover animations, gradient backgrounds,
   custom typography, border radius per corner, and link target.
 * **Image** — advanced image with responsive dimensions, CSS filters (blur, grayscale,
   brightness), hover effects, mask, and lightbox-ready markup.
 * **Icon** — Font Awesome icon block with size, color, rotation, and SVG upload
   support.
 * **Image Box** — image + heading + description + button card with flexible layout(
   top / left / right), hover effects, and full styling.
 * **Icon Box** — Font Awesome icon with title, description, and call-to-action —
   great for feature grids and services sections.
 * **Icon List** — repeatable icon-list block with per-item icons, dividers, link
   support, and inline / stacked layout.
 * **Counter** — animated number counter with prefix / suffix, easing, and responsive
   typography. Perfect for stats sections.
 * **Testimonial Carousel** — Swiper.js-powered testimonial slider with repeater
   items, star ratings, author image, autoplay, navigation, and pagination.
 * **Accordion** — FAQ-style accordion with multiple toggle items, expand / collapse
   icons, and full container styling.
 * **Accordion Item** — child block for the Accordion, with rich-text title and 
   inner-blocks body content.

#### Page Builder Features

 * Drag-and-drop inside the native block editor — reorder, nest, duplicate, copy/
   paste styles.
 * Per-block **Layout**, **Style**, and **Advanced** tabs.
 * Responsive **Padding** and **Margin** on every block — set different values for
   Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile.
 * Background **color**, **gradient**, and **image** with position, size, repeat,
   and overlay.
 * **Border** controls per corner with radius, width, color, and box-shadow.
 * **Typography** — font family, weight, size, line height, letter spacing, text
   transform, decoration, and shadow — all responsive.
 * **Hover effects** — color, background, transform, transition duration.
 * **Z-index**, **CSS ID**, and **additional class** for advanced layouts.

#### Built for Performance

 * No external CSS / JS loaded unless a block is actually used on the page.
 * No jQuery dependency on the front end.
 * Inline `<style>` per block, scoped by unique ID — no global selector pollution.
 * Lazy-loaded Swiper for the testimonial carousel only when present.

#### Use Cases

Landing pages, business websites, agency portfolios, FAQ pages, pricing tables, 
hero sections, feature grids, services pages, about pages, contact pages, blog post
layouts, WooCommerce product descriptions, FSE site templates.

#### Compatible With

Block themes, classic themes, Full Site Editing (FSE), Site Editor, Twenty Twenty-
Four, Twenty Twenty-Five, Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, Blocksy, Neve, and most
WordPress themes that support the block editor.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `scintilla-blocks` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install through**
    Plugins  Add New** and search for “Scintilla Blocks”.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Open any post or page in the block editor and search for “Scintilla” in the block
    inserter to use the new blocks.
 4. Visit **Scintilla Blocks** in the admin sidebar to enable / disable blocks and 
    configure breakpoints.

## FAQ

### Is Scintilla Blocks a page builder?

Yes — but it is built entirely on the native WordPress block editor. There is no
separate editor, no iframe, no canvas. You get page-builder capability (containers,
columns, responsive controls, hover effects) without leaving Gutenberg.

### Does this plugin slow down my site?

No. Block styles are inlined per block instance only when used, there is no global
stylesheet, and no jQuery is loaded on the front end. The Swiper library for the
testimonial carousel loads only on pages that contain that block.

### Can I disable blocks I don’t use?

Yes. Open **Scintilla Blocks  Block Controls** and toggle off any block. Disabled
blocks are removed from the inserter and their assets are not enqueued.

### Is it compatible with Full Site Editing?

Yes. All blocks work inside the Site Editor, templates, template parts, patterns,
and reusable blocks.

### Does it work with my theme?

Yes. Scintilla Blocks works with any theme that supports the WordPress block editor—
block themes (FSE) and classic themes alike. It has been tested with Twenty Twenty-
Four, Twenty Twenty-Five, Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, Blocksy, and Neve.

### Can I change tablet and mobile breakpoints?

Yes. Go to **Scintilla Blocks  Global Settings** and set your own breakpoint values(
px, em, rem are supported).

### Are the blocks responsive?

Yes. Every spacing, typography, and layout control has separate Desktop, Tablet,
and Mobile values, and the editor previews update live when you switch the device
preview mode.

### Does it conflict with other block plugins?

No. All blocks are namespaced under `scintilla-blocks/*` and styles are scoped by
unique block IDs, so it runs cleanly alongside Kadence Blocks, GenerateBlocks, Stackable,
Spectra, Ultimate Addons, and core blocks.

### Is it translation-ready?

Yes. All strings are wrapped with the `scintilla-blocks` text domain and a `/languages`
folder is included for `.pot` / `.po` / `.mo` files.

### Will existing content break if I disable a block?

No. Saved attributes remain in the post content; the block simply stops rendering
until you re-enable it.
