The rich text editor allows you to apply formatting to your text, such as bold, italics and hyperlinks. To apply formatting, simply highlight the section of text you'd like to format, then click on the formatting option you'd like to apply.
The formatting options shown with the rich text editor are as follows:
- B — applies bold to selected text
- I — applies italics to selected text
- U — applies a single underline to selected text
- S — applies a single strikethrough to selected text
The next pair of buttons create a bullet list and a numbered list, and the pair that follow allow you to apply a hyperlink to text, or remove a hyperlink from linked text.
The final two buttons allow you to undo or redo any action you've performed in the editor.
Copying and pasting text from other applications
When you use the rich text editor, please do not copy and paste text directly from other applications, such as web pages or Google Docs.
If you do this, you may find invalid formatting and other properties are applied to your text, which can result in text not being displayed correctly in the Be Collective platform.
If you must copy and paste text, we recommend you do so by pasting first into a plain text editor, such as Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on MacOS.
