(This is part of a series of general information about different components of the website's functionality.)
The editor is one of the most useful, and widely-used, features of the website. It allows users to input text for comments, reviews, descriptions, titles, and more.
There are three main components to the Editor:
- Formatting menu
- Body
- Attachments
Formatting Menu
The formatting menu includes many different buttons to stylize and change your text, including bold, underline, and colors. A brief rundown of all buttons in order:
- Remove Formatting
- Bold
- Italicizie
- Underline
- Link
- Quote
- Emoticons
- Bullet List
- Number List
- Align Left / Middle / Right
- Text Color
- Text Size
- Text Font
- Special buttons such as horizontal page break; source code; table
The "Remove Formatting" button is especially useful if you are copying text over from another website, and wish to 'clean' the text for the website. It will strip out any custom colors, size, and any other formatting and revert to the editor's default format.
Body
The body of the text is where you enter in your text content.
Attachments
You can either drag-and-drop or choose files to attach. The files will start to upload immediately.
You can also link to existing content either on the website or another website, by clicking on "Insert other media."
