Wide Blocks

Overview

Wide Blocks layout will allow you to create a layout where the specific block can be wider than the note's width. Currently, only 3 block types supported i.e. Dataview, Table and Callout. It may be useful if you have a big table that's too wide or using Multi Column Callout and wanted fit more than 3 columns of callouts.
