# Text
The text panel enables you to directly include text or HTML in your dashboards. This can be used to add contextual information and descriptions or embed complex HTML.
## Mode
**Mode** determines how embedded content appears.
### Markdown
This option formats the content as [markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown).
### HTML
This setting renders the content as [sanitized](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/code-in-text-panel/packages/grafana-data/src/text/sanitize.ts) HTML. If you require more direct control over the output, you can set the
[disable_sanitize_html]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/#disable_sanitize_html" >}}) flag which enables you to directly enter HTML.
### Code
This setting renders content inside a read-only code editor. Select an appropriate language to apply syntax highlighting
to the embedded text.
## Variables
[Variables]({{< relref "../variables/syntax/" >}}) in the content will be expanded for display.
