I found a use for the "format: "hidden". If you define a field like this:

"textblock": {
  "type": "string",
  "format": "hidden",
  "description": "<h3>Text with <strong>HTML</strong> Tags</h3>",
  "options": {
    "compact": true
  }
}

The you can use the description field to insert a block of HTML text (Like an introduction text). 😃
