In addition, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

  • ctrl+b or ⌘+b for bold.
  • ctrl+i or ⌘+i for italic.
  • ctrl+k or ⌘+k to display the link menu, where you can enter a URL and text to display.

✔️ TIP: You can also quickly create a link by copying a URL (e.g., from your browser), selecting text in the editor, and pressing ctrl+v or ⌘+V to replace the highlighted text with the link.

When editing a post, spoiler text is always visible. However, once the post is published, the spoiler text will automatically collapse until a user decides to click and view it. This feature allows each user to choose whether or not they want to see the content.

Here's what a spoiler will look like when collapsed.

Lists

Here are a few tips when working with lists:

  • Type "-" and press space to begin a bulleted list.
  • Press enter/return to drop down to the next bullet.
  • Press enter/return twice to end the list and resume standard paragraph text.
  1. Type "1." and press space to begin a numbered list.
  2. Press enter/return to drop down to the next number.
  3. Press enter/return twice to end the list and resume standard paragraph text.

Indent & outdent lists

Indenting/outdenting is possible in two ways:

  • Via the list menu shown below:

Images in lists

You can include images in bulleted and numbered lists.

For numbered lists, Rich Editor allows you to insert images and continue the numbering flow.

Let's look at an example:

Links & embeds

The Link menu, which displays when pasting a URL into the editor or selecting one, allows you to display your links in three formats:

  • Rich Link
  • Card

📝 NOTE: If the pasted link supports Smart Embedding, the Card view will be used by default. If Smart Embedding is not supported, a Rich Link to the page is used by default.

Table overview

Once pasted, you can then edit the table content. Keep the following in mind:

  • The format of your tables is controlled by your Theme. With variables, you can control formatting like alternating row colors and whether column lines display.
  • Currently, when pasting a table containing images, those images will not be included. You must manually insert images into the table after it's pasted.

Unlike images, you cannot click to select a table and delete it with a button. To delete a table, you must select and highlight the entire table and click delete or backspace, once everything has been highlighted.
