Other special use cases of Custom HTML block
Use case 1: Create multiple-column layouts with blank sections.
Below is a sample 2-column layout with the 1st column floating left/right and the 2nd blank column:
Simply add a Custom HTML block that serves as the empty column to achieve this layout.
You can apply the same tweak to create blank space in 3-column or 4-column layouts.
Use case 2: Use the Custom HTML block to add vertical spacing between the rows.
Besides the primary purpose - inserting custom HTML code - you can use this block to add extra space between the existing content rows within a section - you leave all configuration fields blank (no need to add any custom code) and just set the margin to adjust the spacing as you wish.
