Most complex pages on the website are built using a set of building blocks called paragraphs. A paragraph can be a block of text content, a full width image or a slideshow, teaser boxes with links and buttons that point to other pages, etc. Pages are built out of these building blocks, which keeps the sections separate and reorganizable, as well as making sure that all content is well-structured and looks good on every page.
The following are examples of each type of paragraph, to give you a sense of the what you can do and how.
1. Content Section
Most images can take a caption!
Sub-heading goes here
A Content Section is the most common building block of a page. It can contain a heading, a sub-heading, an image, a block of freeform text, and a link. The image can be floated left, right, or be full-width above the content.

12. Multi-Column Content
Sometimes you have long lists of short items, and it makes sense to display information in two or three columns.
Thus, multi-column content! Build each column out of paragraphs, meaning columns can hold pretty much anything that the main page can.

18. Anchor Point
Anchor points are used to create jump-to points throughout the page.
Specifically, they are used by Basic Pages to create the Table of Contents, if that option is selected on the edit page. This page makes heavy use of them, as you can see!
19. View
View paragraphs are used by the website developer to embed special Drupal "views" into certain pages on the site.
If you're not a developer or site-builder, don't worry about it!
