I’d love the ability to have a simple “Static/Block/Header Text” component that I could add to my layouts. This would be used for Instructions, Titles, Headers, etc. Bonus to be able to change what type of text (Title, Subtitle, Header, Paragraph, Code, etc. ) with WYSIWYG editor.

I know. I wanted a component that could add the text statically without entering its into the spreadsheet. Thanks for the idea, though.

[dillinger.io](http://dillinger.io) is a good source for visualizing markdown. The newer Text component allows for some basic formatting as well without having to use markdown.
