The Markdown Block is a versatile tool in your reporting toolkit that lets you add formatted text, visuals, and tables to make reports more informative and engaging.
Why use the Markdown Block?
Markdown supports lightweight formatting syntax that helps you:
- Structure content with headers, lists, and emphasis
- Embed images using simple syntax
- Create tables and columns to organize information
Creating a multi-column layout
One of the Markdown block’s most powerful features is multi-column formatting, perfect for side-by-side comparisons or content grouping.
Choose the number of columns (1, 2, or 3).
Use Markdown tables to define the structure.
Add your text or images inside each column cell.
Ideal for presenting product features, pros & cons, or visual + text combinations.
