Text
The Text Component in Akuko is a powerful tool for adding textual content to your data stories. Whether you're introducing your data, explaining visualizations, highlighting insights, or narrating data stories, the Text Component empowers you to communicate effectively with your audience.
Key Features
Supports Markdown
The Text Component supports Markdown, a lightweight markup language that allows you to format your text for better readability. With Markdown, you can easily create headings, lists, emphasize text, add hyperlinks, and more. Markdown makes it simple to structure and style your text within the Text Component.
Integration with Data Sources
You can connect the Text Component to a data source, enabling you to embed dimensions and measures directly into your text using tokens like {dimension_name}. This integration allows you to create dynamic, data-driven narratives within your data stories.
