Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/7985

Description

Let you make a /container block and you can type in it like a normal page but you can add other blocks and formatting inside it. You can also apply a color and maybe indentation to this block. Optional title too.

Impact

This would let you manage and group sub sections. Also this would be a boon for page formatting.

Additional Context

Other documentation systems (example: confluence) have similar constructs. This could also be a primitive to things like "info", "warning", or "critical" type blocks for callouts to things to watch out for in your documentation or systems.

Hi @tdp4 , thanks for the feedback!
It sounds like your requirement is similar to our Callout Block, which allows you to format text inside and customize the block’s color. Could you give it a try and see if it fits your needs?
