The return value of get_permalink() also needs to go through esc_url(), which was missed previously.
The return values of get_the_date() and get_the_title() should probably also go through esc_html().

Should not a <time datetime='...'> element be used here?

Yes, sounds like a good update.

Front-end:

Testing:
Changing the number of posts in the Inspector doesn't seem to update the list inside my post content, and the grid is a little wonky. |

Rebased to include fix from show-count fix from |
Should we prevent flexbox from wrapping entirely until we add support for column counts? How would we know to have a fixed width for a given post in the grid if we don't know the number of columns we intend to show? |
|
I prefer the wrap, even if a bit odd until we add columns, otherwise it can get very squishy:
|
|
We should get the date format to match (doesn't have to be here). |
It would be good to use _wpDateSettings.formats.date at some point.
|
Updated date format. It'd be nice to use |
@mtias Could we try limiting the grid to either two or three columns in a future PR? |
|
I was thinking of adding the column slider. I can see cases where it makes sense to have many in a line, specially if you use the full-width option. |
|
Okay, I was thinking just short-term — but it sounds like you're planning on implementing the columns sooner rather than later? |

Added issue for exporting PHP |
This enhances the latest posts block adding a "grid" layout option.
In the future, we'd want to add a columns slider like galleries have.
The front-end rendering seemed quite lackluster and wasn't rendering the date. This also fixes that.
