 * This is a quick guide to getting started with MonoWP. If you need specific assistance,
   you can [start a new topic](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/monowp/#new-topic-0)(
   requires a WordPress.org account).
 * **TEMPLATES**
   In addition to the standard templates, two other templates are 
   provided, allowing you to build your own customised pages:
    - _Full Page_ allows you to build the internal content of the page, without 
      showing the title, meta, and comments, thus showing only the header and footer
      provided.
    - _Canvas_ allows you to build the entire page, without showing the title, meta,
      and comments, as well as the header and footer provided.
 * You can apply these templates to your pages, as you would for any other template,
   via the settings sidebar, while editing/creating the page.
 * **BOX SHADOWS**
   Background shadows can be applied to all blocks containing images,
   Group blocks, and Columns/Column blocks. In order to apply it on Button, Image,
   Columns, and Column blocks, you can set the shadow _“Mono”_ under the _Border&
   Shadow_** **controls on the bottom end of the block settings sidebar panel (requires
   WordPress 6.5). While for all other blocks you can select the _“Shadowed”_ block
   style variation in the block settings sidebar panel.
 * **TEXT SHADOWS**
   Text shadows can be applied to all blocks containing titles,
   including Heading block, Quote/Pullquote blocks and Cite block. In order to apply
   it you can select the _“Shadowed”_ block style variation in the block settings
   sidebar panel.
 * **TEXT JUSTIFICATION**
   Paragraph block can be justified by select the _“Justified”_
   block style variation in the block settings sidebar panel. This will overwrite
   any current text alignment.
 * **WAVY SEPARATOR**
   To the Separator block can be applied a wavy effect by select
   the _“Waves”_ block style variation in the block settings sidebar panel.
 * **ANIMATED BUTTONS**
   To the Button block can can be applied an zoom on hover 
   effect by select the _“Animated”_ block style variation in the block settings
   sidebar panel.
 * **CURVED CONTAINERS**
   Group and Columns/Column blocks can have a curved bottom
   by select the _“Curved”_ block style variation in the block settings sidebar 
   panel.
 * Any future changes, or added functionality, will be reported in this topic. If
   you wish, you can request the addition of a new feature by [replying in this topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-started-3/#new-post)(
   requires a WordPress.org account).
