Formatting Bar
You can add different formatting options into the text of an Article's Body, a Publication's Editorial/Notices and a Website's Information section. You can do this either through the format bar above that section, or the green format bar that pops up when you highlight text.
Note: You cannot format Article or Publication Titles, and you can only add bold or italic formatting to an Article Lead.
- To change text into a heading simply highlight the text and the green format bar will appear, here you can select the H1 or H2 icon for the different heading sizes.
- To add bold or italic to text simply highlight the text and the green format bar will appear, here you can select the B or I icons for bold and/or italic.
- To add a clickable link or email address, simply highlight the text you want to turn into a link and the green format bar will appear, here you can select the link symbol and paste or type the link/email address, then click the tick button to save.
- To change text into a quote simply highlight the text and the green format bar will appear, here you can select the quotation marks ( ") symbol, this will turn the text into a quotation.
- To change text into a bullet point or numbered list simply highlight the text you want to turn into a list and the green format bar will appear, here you can select the list icon and this will turn the text into a bullet point list.
You can also combine different formatting options to change how things appear. E.g. H1 and Bold for a standout heading, or a Quotation and Italics to emphasise the text.
