### What is blockGap and how can I use it?

For blocks that contain inner blocks, such as Group, Columns, Buttons, and Social Icons, `blockGap` controls the spacing between inner blocks. Depending on the layout of the block, the `blockGap` value will be output as either a vertical margin or a `gap` value. In the editor, the control for the `blockGap` value is called _Block spacing_, located in the Dimensions panel.
For blocks that contain inner blocks, such as Group, Columns, Buttons, and Social Icons, `blockGap` controls the spacing between inner blocks. For `blockGap` to work, the block must also opt in to the [`layout` block support](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api/block-supports/#layout), which provides layout styles that can be adjusted via the block spacing controls. Depending on the layout of the block, the `blockGap` value will be output as either a vertical margin or a `gap` value. In the editor, the control for the `blockGap` value is called _Block spacing_, located in the Dimensions panel.
