Interactive blocks

In addition to the default Markdown you can write, GitBook has a number of out-of-the-box interactive blocks you can use. You can find interactive blocks by pressing / from within the editor.

Tabs

First tab

Each tab is like a mini page — it can contain multiple other blocks, of any type. So you can add code blocks, images, integration blocks and more to individual tabs in the same tab block.

Second tab

Expandable sections

Expandable blocks are helpful in condensing what could otherwise be a lengthy paragraph. They are also great in step-by-step guides and FAQs.

Embedded content

GitBook supports thousands of embedded websites out-of-the-box, simply by pasting their links. Feel free to check out which ones are supported natively.
