This plugin introduces a card layout as a variation of the standard Media & Text block for content management systems. It is designed for site builders and developers who want to create visually consistent card components without registering a new, separate block. The tool modifies an existing block's behavior, offering a safer, more maintainable approach to extending editor functionality.

• Block Variation Foundation: Implements the card as a variation, meaning it builds directly upon the stable Media & Text block. This ensures full compatibility with core features and prevents content loss; if the plugin is removed, cards revert to standard Media & Text blocks.
• Stacked Card Layout: Transforms the default side-by-side media and text arrangement into a vertical card structure, with media positioned above the supporting text content for a modern presentation.
• Controlled Image Display: Adds an Aspect Ratio setting to the block's sidebar controls, allowing users to select from predefined ratios (like square, 16:9, or 4:3) to create uniform, balanced image areas within each card.
• Theme-Aware Styling: Utilizes CSS custom properties (like --mrw-card--min-height) for key style values, making it straightforward for developers to override and adapt the card's appearance to match their site's design system.
• Content Preservation & Safety: The variation-based approach guarantees that all entered content—images, headlines, and body text—is preserved within the parent Media & Text block, mitigating risk during updates or plugin changes.
