Interface: RichTextBlock
Description
Displays formatted, structured representation of text. It is also the output of the Slack client's
WYSIWYG message composer, so all messages sent by end-users will have this format. Use this block to include
user-defined formatted text in your Block Kit payload. While it is possible to format text with mrkdwn,
rich_text is strongly preferred and allows greater flexibility.
You might encounter a rich_text block in a message payload, as a built-in type in workflow apps, or as output of
the RichTextInput.
