I am trying to learn block editor and wondering if there is a way to insert the read more button in the middle of a block? I can only find read more as a block but it breaks up the paragraph in the post.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Susan

The link to the blocks guide does not explain how to insert a read more tag in the middle of a block. The other link is showing me how to use the read more tag in classic editor, which I have been using for a few years now. I am trying to see if the same thing can be done in block editor, which so far I don’t think it can.
Thanks

Correct, it shows how to add a “more” block which when opening the full blog post creates a gap in the text. I can’t figure out how to get rid of the space between the blocks or get the read more tag in the middle of a text block.

@blairandsusan I don’t believe it’s possible to add a Read More block to the middle of another block. If you’re trying to split up a paragraph, it might be best to make that single paragraph into two and add the Read More block in between them. I know this adds unwanted space though.
