Format text and add links

Select some words to make them bold, code or coloured, or to link them to a web page.

Select text in any block and a small toolbar appears above it. Its buttons apply to exactly what you selected.

ButtonWhat it does
Bold, Italic, StrikethroughThe usual. Press the button again to remove it.
CodeMarks the words as inline code, in a monospaced font.
ColourOpens a palette with a text colour and a highlight. No text colour and No highlight take them off again.
LinkOpens a field: paste or type an address and press Enter. Select linked text and the same field lets you change the address, or Remove link takes the link off.

A link needs a real address. Something like example.com is completed to https://example.com, and an email address becomes a mailto: link; anything that is not a web or email address is refused with a message, and nothing changes.

Markdown works as you type too: **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~ and `code` turn into formatting when you type the closing mark. To link to another of your pages rather than a web address, type @ instead.
