Let your inner wordsmith out by adding in beautiful, formatted text.

Written by Aaron-Spencer

From within a Nugget or Course Lesson, select the Text icon to open the Tiny MCE editor.

Note✨: This is the name of the third-party provider of the text editor; it allows for the use of different fonts, images and embeds, etc. - however - the settings and user experience, is not controlled by HowNow.

Header 1 and Header 2 - You can make normal text into Header text, with two different sizes.

Paragraph - Use this icon to place a line of text on to a new paragraph.

Bold / Underline / Italic - Great for categorising text or bringing attention to important points raised.

Highlighter / Text Colour - Highlight your text or use the Text Colour ("A" icon) option to make it stand out. If you’re adding custom colours, you won’t need to add the # for the code - we’ll do that for you 😉

Align Text - Position text in any direction, align left, centre, right or justify it.

Bulleted / Ordinal Lists - Create lists to present instructions or steps.

Indent text Left or Right - Similar to the Paragraph option, but as an indent on the same line.

Clear Formatting - Remove any special formatting that text copied from elsewhere, may already have (italics, specific font style, etc.). Clearing formatting allows you to present the text how you want.

Table - Add a table by choosing how many rows and columns you want to have.

Insert/edit Link - Choose text to hyperlink, meaning, Users can click that text to be taken to the desired webpage.

Insert Image - You can add an image from your device.
