Every block the editor can write
This post exists to show every block and mark the editor can write, in the order an author is likely to reach for them. The first paragraph is set as a lead automatically: nothing to switch on.
Headings and inline marks
A section starts with a level-two heading; a level-three heading opens a subsection. Inside a paragraph the text can be bold for emphasis, italic for a case name such as Enka v Chubb, or a link to a source, which opens in a new tab and carries no weight the platform vouches for.
A subsection
Subsections appear in the contents block at the top of the page as 2.1, 2.2 and so on, one level under their section.
Quotes
A quote sits on a navy rail. The last line can be turned into the source with the Source button that appears inside a quote.
The clause should answer four questions without a lawyer in the room: where, under which rules, how many arbitrators, and in what language.
ICC Commission Report on Energy Disputes, 2024
A quote without a source is a quote all the same.
Lists
A numbered list for steps that happen in order:
- Seat of arbitration. A neutral seat with a modern arbitration statute.
- Institutional rules. Name the institution and the edition of the rules.
- Number of arbitrators. Three above the expedited threshold, one below it.
A bulleted list for things that do not:
- whether the arbitration statute follows the UNCITRAL Model Law;
- how the courts have treated set-aside applications in the last five years;
- whether the counterparty has assets there that an award could reach.
Pictures
A picture is inserted with a caption line under it. The caption is typed in place and can be left empty.
Notes
A note sets a remark apart from the flow of the text. The label is drawn by the style, the author writes only the body.
Tables
A plain grid with a header row: no colours, no merged cells. On a phone it scrolls sideways inside its own box.
| Seat | Arbitration statute | Set-aside record |
|---|---|---|
| London | Arbitration Act 1996, as amended 2025 | Rare; s.68 succeeds in under 5% of cases |
| Paris | Code of Civil Procedure, arts. 1504–1527 | Rare; annulment on public policy only |
| Singapore | International Arbitration Act 1994 | Rare; strong pro-enforcement line |
That is the whole set. Anything pasted from elsewhere that is not on this list is dropped on the way in.
