Markdown text — the block you will use most.

<ParamField body="type" type="string" required>
  `"text"`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="text" type="string" required>
  Markdown, 1–12,000 characters. Longer text is cut short with a visible note, not rejected.
</ParamField>

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "text",
  "text": "**Order #4821** has shipped.\nExpected delivery: *Tuesday*."
}
```

`text` blocks that sit next to each other draw inside one bubble, with paragraph spacing. See [markdown support](/block-kit/overview#markdown).
