Text styling

A

Text style

You can make changes to the style or appearance of text. Highlight the text you want to alter and select the text style from the drop down menu: Bold - makes the text bold. Italic - makes the text italic. Superscript - turns text into a superscript. Subscript - turns the text into a subscript. Strikethrough - puts a line through the text. Computer code - inserts HTML tags <code> and </code> around text you highlighted, which changes the default setting of the font. Underline - draws a line under text. Language - changes language using ISO coding such as "en" for English. Big - makes the text larger. Small - makes the text smaller. Remove - removes any styling attached to the text other than default. (Notice: You can also change style by using the Control key with another key such as a "i" to change text to italics.)
