Text blocks let you add rich content anywhere on your form. Use them for page introductions, instructions, section explanations, legal disclaimers, or personalized messages that reference earlier answers. Page titles in Filla are for editor navigation only and are not displayed to respondents. To introduce a page or section to respondents, add a text block as the first widget on the page. Use heading formatting for the page title and regular body text for any description or context.Documentation Index

Settings
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Content | Rich text with variables | The text content to display. Supports formatting (bold, italic, links, lists) and @ variable references to insert values from earlier answers. |

Using variables in text blocks
Type@ in the content editor to open the variable picker. You can insert:
- Field values from earlier pages (e.g., “Thanks, @First Name!”)
- Date values (e.g., today’s date)
Styling
Text block content respects your form’s theme settings:- Text color follows the Question text color setting
- Links use the form’s Accent color with an underline, so they stand out from surrounding text
- Formatting (bold, italic, headings, lists) renders using standard typography styles
