Aside Block

Add an aside with related information. Accepts image, headline, paragraph, and button blocks as children.

When would I use this block?

Use this block when your article includes a short sidebar of information or callout to another site or article. This block outputs the content inside an <aside> tag which semantically identifies the content as indirectly related to the main article but not part of the flow of content. 

Examples:

• http://www.bu.edu/articles/2020/bus-charles-river-campus-marks-its-100th-anniversary/
• http://www.bu.edu/articles/2019/racial-disparities-in-maternal-health/
• http://www.bu.edu/articles/2019/augustus-richard-norton-helped-shape-pardee-school/
