Explanation of the WYSIWYG Content Editor.

Paragraph  

Format -  Allows you to select the type of text you are entering so that the appropriate color and size can be applied.

 

 

 

Styles

Bold - Highlight text and click the B icon to make it bold.

 

 

Italic - Highlight text and click the I icon to make it italic.

 

 

Insert Horizontal Line - Easily add a horizontal line or divider across the page, creating a visual break between sections of content.

 

 

Special Character

Remove Format - Removes formatting from content.

 

 

Link - Insert link to other content. If you would like to make a button, follow these instructions:  Once you have made the text that you want to be a button, select the Styles option and, from the menu, select the desired button type. 

 

 

Anchor link - A hyperlink that navigates users to a specific section within a webpage rather than an entirely new page. This facilitates efficient navigation, allowing users to quickly find and access the information they need without having to scroll through the entire document.

Increase Indent  - The indent button shifts text to the right, creating a visually distinct and organized layout. This feature is often employed for creating hierarchical structures, such as bullet points or numbered lists, to improve document readability.
