The Text Widget lets you add formatted text to your Sitee using Markdown. You can use it for introductions, headings, lists, short announcements, quotes, disclaimers, and other written content.

The Text Widget currently uses Markdown. We are working on a simpler editor that will make formatting text easier without requiring Markdown syntax.

​
Supported formatting

The Text Widget can contain up to 1,000 characters. Typing a valid YourSitee username with an @ symbol creates a link to that user’s Sitee. For example: @yoursitee The @ symbol is used only for the profile link and is not part of the actual username.
Use the live preview while writing to check your formatting before saving the widget.

​
Mark as sponsored

Available on Pro plan Enable Mark sponsored when the Text Widget contains paid, affiliate, gifted, or otherwise sponsored content. You can enable this option from the Text Widget editor or through the widget’s context menu. The Sponsored Content label appears directly on the widget. Learn more in the Guide to Content Labels.

​
Spotlight a Text Widget

Available on Pro plan Spotlight visually emphasizes a Text Widget and helps important information stand out from the rest of your Sitee. It may be useful for:
  • An important announcement
  • A short introduction
  • A temporary message
  • A primary call to action
  • A disclaimer or notice
You can enable Spotlight from the Text Widget editor or through the widget’s context menu.
