title: 'The `.block`, probably Bulmas most important feature'
layout: post
introduction: 'Automatic spacing for everything in Bulma'
color: 'danger'
name: 'The Bulma block'
icon: 'cube'
---
The Bulma `block` is a simple element but with a very powerful feature: it provides `1.5rem` margin at the bottom, if it's not the last child.
It exists as its own `.block` CSS class, but its properties are also used on **many other Bulma components**.
For example, if you were to combine a `notification`, and a `pagination`, they would be **automatically spaced evenly**:
<div class="block is-size-6" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 80%; padding: 1.5rem;">
<p class="title">Newsletter</p>
<div class="notification is-success">
451 new subscribers this month.
</div>
<table class="table is-bordered is-striped is-hoverable is-fullwidth">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>

<nav class="pagination" role="navigation" aria-label="pagination">
<a class="pagination-previous">Previous</a>
<a class="pagination-next">Next page</a>
<ul class="pagination-list ml-0 mt-0">

<a class="pagination-link" aria-label="Goto page 1">1</a>

For comparison, if there was no spacing, here's what they would look like:
<div class="block is-size-6" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 80%; padding: 1.5rem;">
<p class="title mb-0">Newsletter</p>
<div class="notification is-success mb-0">
451 new subscribers this month.
</div>
<table class="table is-bordered is-striped is-hoverable is-fullwidth mb-0">

This `block` element has always existed; only recently has there been a <a href="/documentation/elements/block/">dedicated documentation page</a>.
