# Tabs (multi-language and multi-tool)

CentrMark’s feature for “multi-pane” technical writing is the `::: tabs` block directive. It groups multiple representations of the same underlying idea (for example, the same API call) under one stable section, so readers can compare variants without losing context.

It supports both multi-language and multi-tool documentation.

For multi-language, each tab shows the same idea in a different implementation language.

For multi-tool, each tab shows the same idea in a different tool/SDK/client.

Use-case: present the same request using different clients.
