# Text Report Item

The text item allows to enter a custom text paragraph. It offers a [Markdown](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/design/edit-virtual-user/code-editor/#markdown-cheat-sheet) editor.

Changes made to the markdown are displayed in real time in the upper part. Use the Save button to apply your changes to the report. Or click Delete to remove this block of text.

!!! tip
    Check out [this page](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/design/edit-virtual-user/code-editor/#markdown-cheat-sheet) to learn about Markdown syntax.

## Name

In the [report edition items list](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/edit-bench-report/#items-list), the text item name is displayed in bold text with a green tile to help differentiates the various sections of the report during edition:

## Variables

The text can use the variables of the [report templates](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/edit-bench-report/templates/#create-template), such as `$REPORT_NAME$`, `$RESULTS$` or `$RESULT(0)$`: they are replaced by the values of the report, on screen, in the PDF and in the [Markdown export](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/export-bench-report/#export-as-markdown). They are also replaced in the [report description](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/edit-bench-report/configuration/#metadatas), whose preview in the **Edit Metadata** dialog shows the result as you type.

!!! note
    The name of a text item is not replaced: a `$RESULT(0)$` in the name stays as typed in the [items list](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/edit-bench-report/#items-list).

## Headers

In the exported report, titles *H1* or subtitles *H2* are included in the [table of content](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/export-bench-report/#table-of-contents).

## SLA Profiles

The `$SLA_PROFILES(0)$` syntax can be used to display a summary of SLA profiles that were used for this test:

![sla-profile](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/edit-bench-report/report-items/img/sla-profile.png)

It can also be used in [Comparison reports](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/compare-bench-results/) with the syntax `$SLA_PROFILES(<Result Number>)$` and be quickly added to a report using the [available report items tree](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/edit-bench-report/#available-items):

!!! warning
    If you are looking for all SLA triggered during the test, then use the [Monitors table](https://api.octoperf.com/doc/analysis/edit-bench-report/report-items/monitoring-alarms-table/) instead.
