Format your text

Formatting your text helps visitors scan a page. A small bar of buttons appears above the words while you edit them.

1. Click the words you want to change. A bar of buttons appears above them.
2. Select the words you want to format.
3. Click a button on the bar:
   • Bold (B) makes the words heavier.
   • Italic (I) slants the words.
   • Bullet list (•) turns the lines into a list with dots.
   • Numbered list (1.) turns the lines into a list with numbers.
   • Heading (H2) makes the line a heading.
   • Body text (¶) makes a heading back into ordinary text.
4. Click Done on the bar when you finish.

Point at a button to see its name.

Note

Not every button shows on every piece of text. Bold and Italic work everywhere. The list buttons show in longer text, such as the answers in a question list and the Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions and Accessibility pages. Heading and Body text show only on those three pages, and in the Post content box of a blog post.

Link words to a page or a web address

1. Click the words, then select the words you want to link.
2. Click the link button on the bar. It looks like two chain links. The Link the selected text window opens.
3. Under Links to, choose one of your pages. Or type a web address under Or a web address, like https://www.example.org.
4. To open the link in a new browser tab, switch on Open in a new tab. Use this for other websites, not your own pages.
5. Click Save.

A page marked (draft) in the list is not on your live site yet. A link to it goes nowhere until you switch that page on. See Show or hide a page.

Keyboard shortcuts

On a computer, these work while you type:

• Bold: Ctrl+B (⌘B on a Mac)
• Italic: Ctrl+I (⌘I on a Mac)
• Link: Ctrl+K (⌘K on a Mac)
• Bullet list: Ctrl+Shift+8 (⌘Shift8 on a Mac)
• Numbered list: Ctrl+Shift+7 (⌘Shift7 on a Mac)

If it does not work

• You do not see the list or heading buttons: That text does not take lists or headings. Use Bold and Italic there, or add a section built for it. See Add a section.
• “Pick a page, or enter a web address for this link.”: Choose a page under Links to, or type a web address.
• “That is not a web address we can use. Start it with https://, or use mailto: or tel:.”: Type the whole address, starting with https://. For an email link, start with mailto:. For a phone link, start with tel:.
• You want to take a link off words: There is no button for that. Click Undo in the top bar right after you add it. See Undo a change.
• Your words went back to what they were: Pressing Esc while you type throws away what you typed in that spot. Click the words and type again. Click Done, or click somewhere else on the page, to keep them.
