Use headings, lists, callouts, blockquotes, dividers, and columns in NocoDB Docs.

Blocks are the units of a NocoDocs document. Each paragraph, heading, list, or callout is a block. You can create, move, and delete each block separately.

## Headings

NocoDocs supports three heading levels:

| Level     | Slash Command | Markdown Shortcut |
| --------- | ------------- | ----------------- |
| Heading 1 | `/heading1`   | `# `              |
| Heading 2 | `/heading2`   | `## `             |
| Heading 3 | `/heading3`   | `### `            |

### Collapsible Headings

Click the toggle arrow next to a heading to collapse or expand the content below it. Use it to organize long documents into sections.

<img alt="Collapse section" src={__img0} placeholder="blur" />

## Lists

<img alt="Lists" src={__img1} placeholder="blur" />

### Bullet List

To create a bullet list, type `/bullet`, or start a line with `- ` or `* `.

### Numbered List

To create a numbered list, type `/numbered`, or start a line with `1. `.

### Task List

To create a checklist, type `/task`, or start a line with `[ ]`. Click the checkbox to mark an item as complete or not complete.

<Callout type="tip">
  Use 

  `Tab`

   to indent list items and 

  `Shift + Tab`

   to outdent them.
</Callout>

## Blockquotes

To create a blockquote, type `/quote`, or start a line with `> `.

```
> Blockquotes are useful for highlighting key statements or referencing external content.
```

## Callouts

Callouts are colored boxes that draw attention to important information. To insert a callout, type `/callout`. Four types are available:

<img alt="Callouts" src={__img3} placeholder="blur" />

| Type          | Use Case                                       |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Note**      | General information or context                 |
| **Tip**       | Helpful suggestions or best practices          |
| **Warning**   | Cautions and potential issues                  |
| **Important** | Critical information that should not be missed |

## Dividers

To insert a horizontal divider between sections, type `/divider` or `---`, then press `Enter`.

## Columns

Create a two-column layout to show content side by side:

<img alt="Columns" src={__img4} placeholder="blur" />

1. To insert a column block, type `/columns`. Each column is a separate editor area.
2. Add blocks of any type in each column.

## Tabs

Put content into many panels in a single block, and switch between them. For full details, refer to [Tabs](/docs/product/docs/document-content/tabs).
