Markdown Block

The Markdown Block is a versatile tool in your reporting toolkit. It allows you to add formatted text, visuals, and tables, helping you create content that’s both 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.

Whether you're adding insights or combining visuals with commentary, the Markdown block improves readability and impact.

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.

To create columns:

1. Choose the number of columns (1, 2, or 3).

2. Use Markdown tables to define the structure.

3. Add your text or images inside each column cell.
