Text
A paragraph with basic formatting (bold, italic, links, lists), optionally in a coloured box.
Good to know: this block is available on every plan, Free included.
Using it well
Type straight into the text area on the right. Select words to make them bold, italic or a link, or start a bullet list. A link to /about goes to your own page called about. Paste plain text to keep your site's style.
In a wide band, a long text reads better with Readable line length: its lines stop at about 65 characters.
Adding it
Open your site in the builder, choose Add in the left panel and pick Text (or search for it). Click the block in the preview to open its settings on the right. This block can also be used in blog posts.
