# Text

The Text block lets you add simple, formatted text content to your page sections. This is perfect for adding short messages, labels, descriptions, or any text that needs to support nearby content. You can use basic formatting like bold, italic, or links to make your text more engaging. The text block is versatile and works well alongside images, headings, buttons, and other content blocks.

**Text**: Enter your text content here. You can use the inline rich text editor to format your text with bold, italic, or add links to make parts of your text clickable. The default text is "Add a short, inline message or label to support nearby content."

### Tips

* Keep your text concise and focused. This block works best for short messages, labels, or brief descriptions rather than long paragraphs.&#x20;
* Use formatting like bold or italic to emphasize important parts of your text.&#x20;
* You can add links within your text to make specific words or phrases clickable, which is useful for linking to related pages or products.&#x20;
* The text block is designed to complement other content, so use it to add context or support to nearby headings, images, or buttons.
