Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5

These styles are predefined and browser dependent.
Advanced users can customize these styles with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
The Normal (DIV) can be used to group block-elements to format them with styles by advanced users.

 
  - Style

There are 5 predefined formats:

Custom Bold

Custom Italic

Unlike Formats or Fonts, Styles can be combined in the same text. The Title and Code Style appear as normal text unless you create custom CSS Styles (advanced).

 

  - Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strike Through

 

To apply any style or formatting, first type your text, then select it with the mouse or using the SHIFT and Arrow Keys and click the desired toolbar control.

Advanced users can look for correspondence between HTML tags and the formatting options available in the editor toolbar in the <LINK>Tags Table.
