How to Format Text
Introduction: Style Sheets and Styles
When
your website is first designed and built, we set up a custom "style
sheet" that defines a how text will be automatically formatted in
different situations. This includes headings, sub-headings, bullets, links, etc. Each kind of formatting is referred to as a "style".
We recommend relying on these custom styles rather than custom-formatting text by changing the font type, size, etc.
Headings
Your website will be set up with at least three pre-defined headings:
- Heading 1: This is the style for your page or post tile. Google prefers that there only be one of these on the page.
- Heading 2: This style can be used for creating section titles within a page.
- Heading 3: This can be used for creating sub-sections titles within a page.
Bold, Italic, and Bulleted or Numbered Lists
Standard formatting options, such as bold, italic, bulleted and numbered lists are available via the MS-word-like buttons at the top of your editor:
Fixing Bad Formatting
Sometimes you may find that the formatting is behaving strangely. This could be due to copying and pasting text from a program like Microsoft Word. You can avoid this in most browsers by holding down the “Shift” key when pasting (e.g. “CTRL-SHIFT-C”).
If you ever get stuck
in a jam, you can always go back to a blank slate by selecting the text
and clicking the “Remove Formatting” button:
