Text Block

The Text block is the most common block type in Slate. Use it to add formatted text, headings, lists, and links to your lessons.

The text editor toolbar provides the following formatting:

  • Bold and Italic
  • Strikethrough
  • Bulleted lists and Numbered lists
  • Blockquotes
  • Code blocks with syntax highlighting
  • Links (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K)

Text blocks support heading levels H3 through H6. Heading levels H1 and H2 are reserved for the course title and lesson title respectively, so content headings start at H3.

Select text and press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to add a link. You can link to any external URL.

When you add a new Text block, it starts with placeholder text: “Enter your text here…”
