# Message [Pro]

Message control lets you add helpful text and instructions between other controls in your block settings.

## Control Settings

- **Message** (`message_text`) - the text to display in block settings. Empty by default
- **New Lines** (`message_new_lines`) - how line breaks in that text are rendered:
  - `Automatically add paragraphs` runs the text through `wpautop`, and is the default
  - `Automatically add <br>` runs it through `nl2br`
  - `No formatting` prints the text as it was typed

Message is a layout control used only in the block editor and doesn't output any value in your block's content.
