# Markdown Block
> Learn how to format text, add images, and create multi-column layouts in your reports.
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.
## Prefer visual editing? Use the Rich Text Editor

* **Text formatting** — bold, italic, headers, lists, and links
* **Images** — easily upload and place them in context
* **Tables** — create structured layouts visually
