Text Editor

When you are editing pages, there is a toolbar that provides a “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) display to speed up your content formatting. You can hover or focus on each of the tools to see a tooltip with more detailed description.

The Text Editor toolbar allows for easy content formatting, with tooltip labels for each control.
