This from a step where two lines of text, one heading and one paragraph with a line break between, using one markdown control.

{
    "id": "<enter_unique_id_for_this_control>",
    "type": "Markdown",
    "data": "# Create an Active Directory user  \nEnter information about the user you want to create."
}

This an example where three different markdowns are used in the same step. Note that each markdown need a unique id.

{
    "id": "<enter_unique_id_for_this_control_1>",
    "type": "Markdown",
    "data": "# Create an Active Directory user."
},
{
    "id": "<enter_unique_id_for_this_control_2>",
    "type": "Markdown",
    "data": "Enter information about the user you want to create."
},
{
    "id": "<enter_unique_id_for_this_control_3>",
    "type": "Markdown",
    "data": "## How would you like to proceed?"
}

This an example with one markdown using lang-file to add data from a previous step. It combines string and variable data. For example. "You have selected Donald Duck." where Donald Duck is data from a previous step.

The top example is from a step. The below example is from a language file., en.json.

{
    "id": "top_text_label",
    "type": "Markdown",
    "data": {
        "key": "edit_ms_entra_id_user_step2",
        "variables": {
            "displayName": "{{{flow.displayName}}}"
        }
    }
}

"edit_ms_entra_id_user_step2": "You have selected {{displayName}}",
