Text Formatting

Introduction

Text in web pages can be formatted with many different styles. Not only can you use the usual formatting found in word processor such as Bold or Italic, but also styles which are considered more semantic than stylistic like "acronym" or "dfn" (Definition). All of the styles and formats specified by the W3C are available in Flux.

Formatting text

Formatting text in Flux is easy, and very similar to using a typical word processor or desktop publishing program. First, ensure you are in Text by the selecting the "Aa" button in Flux.



Now you can select text by clicking where you want to start your selection, and holding the left mouse button, then dragging to where you want your selection to end.



Now click the Text button on the toolbar.



Now you can choose which style to use, in this case, we will make the text bold.



Now you can see that the selected text is in bold, and the HTML tags are displayed graphically to show how the tags are working. These tags can be turned off and on in the details bar at the bottom of the window.
