How to use text formatting tools on a website


Step 1: Locate the text formatting buttons


The most frequently-used functionality of the WYSIWYG toolbar is probably the basic text formatting options: bold, italic, and underline. These buttons are located in between the superscript button and the quote button:

Note: the underline format will not be available, even if it appears to be present in the text editor box before you save. This tutorial will cover only the features available for use.

Step 2: Utilize the text formatting tools


To bold or italicize your font, simply select the text you want to format...
