Combining Typography & Special Components
Use headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to structure your page or document, and then insert charts, tables, or other special components to illustrate or support the text content. -
Styling & Configuration
Each component might have settings for color, size, data binding, and more. Check your platform’s documentation or property panel for customization options. -
