### Snippet

By default, Kirby uses the following snippet to render the text block:

```php
<?php /** @var \Kirby\Cms\Block $block */ ?>
<?= $block->text();

```

To overwrite [this default snippet](https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/tree/5.5.3/config/blocks/text/text.php), place your custom file in `/site/snippets/blocks/text.php`.

### Blueprint

icon: text
wysiwyg: true
preview: text
fields:
  text:
    type: writer
    nodes: false
    placeholder: field.blocks.text.placeholder

```
