The toolbar allows formatting posts in a variety of ways, making it easier to convey information. The toolbar offers a variety of options such as, but not limited to, changing the alignment of your text, adding bulleted lists, and numbered lists.  You will also be able to: express yourself with emoticons, insert tables, code samples, images, and so on. This article will walk you through the process of using some of the toolbar features.

Expanding the Toolbar

To see all the formatting options available, ensure the toolbar has been expanded. If you only see one row, the second row is hidden. You will need to click on the button with the three dots to expand the toolbar. 

Text Formatting

• Text and Font: Make common changes to your text, including italicizing, bolding, and underlining, along with crossing out text, and customizing font based on available options.
• Paragraph: You can choose between using regular Paragraph formatting or selecting one of the Heading sizes for your text.
• Alignment:  Align your text in a variety of ways; left-aligned, centered, right-aligned, or justified.
• Lists: Create bulleted or numbered lists.
• Indents: Choose left or right indents.
  

Table of Contents

For longer pieces of content (such as tutorials or this article, for example) you have the option to create a table of contents.  This will provide readers with clickable links for sections they would like to visit. First, format each section with a Heading in order to enable the table of contents feature. Next, select the Table of Contents button and the layout box will appear. You can drag and drop the box anywhere in your post.

Note: This button will be unclickable if at least one Heading does not exist.

Emoticons

You can select from over 2,500 emoticons within eight categories. To insert an emoticon, simply click on the respective icon and choose from the menu.

Inserting and Editing Media

Upload images or use images from your account album, changing their alignment and size in-line as needed.

There are multiple options for inserting an image with the toolbar. Once you click on the camera icon, you will see a pop-up that allows you to choose from the following tabs: 

• From Computer
• Choose files to upload from your computer

You can also insert and edit tables. Simply select the number of rows and columns in the Table menu to create a new table.
