Formatting Pages Overview

Formatting content pages can be used to create hierarchy amongst headings, organise copy and draw attention to important information.

 

The Copy field uses a toolbar to simplify the editing process. Each icon in the menu serves a different function.

 

Formatting Copy

TIP:

Formatting is per line and can only be applied exclusively. For example, the text may be bold but not bold italic

Create bold text: place the cursor at the start of the line you would like to make bold and click the above icon. This will insert the characters =b=

Create italicized text: place the cursor at the start of the line you would like to make italics and click the above icon. This will insert the characters =i= 

Add a heading: place the cursor at the start of the line you would like to display as a heading and click one of the above icons. This will insert the characters =1= to =5=

H1 & H5 are the largest, H2, 3 & 4 are the same size, however, 3 & 4 are a light grey, H4 is centered and H5 is in a coloured box.

Insert a quote: place the cursor at the start of the line you would like to make a quote and click the above icon. This will insert the characters =q=

This will display the following text inside a centered and highlighted box. This is intended to give some prominence to a quote or tag line that you wish to add to your page.

Insert bulleted items: Clicking the above icons will either insert the character * which will display the following text in dot point form or insert the characters *#* which will display the text in numerical points. This is intended to list key points of information or to list an order.

Insert a line break: place the cursor at the start of the line you would like to add a line separator and click the above icon. This will insert the characters ----

    4. Padding Left: Image will display on the left side with a small amount of padding on the left side.
    5. Padding Right: Image will display on the right side with a small amount of padding on the right side.
