Interface: MarkdownBlock

Defined in: block-kit/blocks.ts:255

Description​

This block can be used with AI apps when you expect a markdown response from an LLM that can get lost in translation rendering in Slack. Providing it in a markdown block leaves the translating to Slack to ensure your message appears as intended. Note that passing a single block may result in multiple blocks after translation.

Markdown block reference.
