The Main Text field on the question and instruction screens and many other areas of the LCMS use a sophisticated WYSIWYG rich-text editor, which saves your content in HTML format. Unlike plain text, this allows you to include basic formatting such as bold, italics, and underline, as well as functionality such as hyperlinks, and provides many more features.

Note: The content of HTML fields is displayed on screen. When you click on it, HTML Editor will open in a new modal window, containing the content for editing purposes. Click the Submit button to save your changes or Cancel to close the window without saving.

The HTML Editor has a toolbar at the top containing a range of buttons most of which enable common editing functions. Most of these will be familiar to users from similar editing features available in modern word-processors or HTML editors.

Note: The toolbar can be collapsed or expanded by clicking the small arrow on the far right.

If you are uncertain about any of the toolbar features, just hover your mouse cursor over each button and the function will automatically be displayed on the screen in a tooltip.

Note: The toolbar in the editor has many features and is highly-customizable. It may appear slightly different if the configuration has been changed for your installation of the LCMS.
