# Text, lists, tables and callouts

Headings, lists, tables and callouts are the blocks most pages are built from.

## Headings and text

Use **Heading 1**, **Heading 2** and **Heading 3** to give a page structure. Type `#`, `##` or `###` and a space, or choose them from the `/` menu. Headings also build the outline that readers see on a published page, so use them in order.

## Lists

-   **Bulleted list**: type `-` and a space.
-   **Numbered list**: type `1.` and a space.
-   **To-do list**: type `[ ]` and a space. Click the box to tick an item off.

Press **Tab** to indent an item and **Shift+Tab** to bring it back out. Press **Enter** twice to end the list.

## Quote and divider

**Quote** sets a passage apart, for example something a customer said. **Divider** draws a line across the page to separate two parts.

## Columns

**2 columns** and **3 columns** place blocks side by side. Put text in one column and an image in the next. On a phone the columns stack under each other.

## Tables

Type `/table` to insert one. While your cursor is inside a table a small bar floats above it:

-   **Rows** and **Columns** open every action for that part: add above or below, move up or down, delete.
-   **Header** turns the first row into a header row.
-   **Delete table** removes the whole table.

To move a row with the keyboard, press `Alt+Shift+↑` or `Alt+Shift+↓`. A header row stays at the top, and the other rows move between themselves.

## Callouts

A callout is a highlighted panel for a tip, a warning or a note. Click its icon to pick an emoji and a colour. There are eight colours: info, blue, teal, success, warning, orange, danger and neutral.

> This panel is a callout. Use one when a reader must not miss something.

## Code and highlights

**Code block** keeps spacing and uses a fixed-width font. Select text and use the toolbar to **highlight** it with a colour.
