Feature update – more options in the text editor

Dan AmosBlog, English / Language Arts, Languages, Literacy, Math, News

Our latest update allows for more styling options in the text editor, plus special characters to support math and language learning.

Previously, the text editor was limited to bold, italics, underline and adding a hyperlink. Now, you can also:

  • Use Bold, Italics or Underline on individual words or letters
  • Change the color of words or letters (including hyperlinks - no more default blue!)
  • Highlight individual words or letters
  • Use bullet points or numbered lists

In addition to that, there are a number of special characters now included.

Click on the 3 dots to access Strikethrough, Superscript and Subscript (may come in useful in your math books).

And speaking of Math - do you see the math icon in the bottom of the text editor? Click on that to add a plethora of mathematical symbols and characters to your book.

As well as these math symbols, we're also catering for the language teachers among you too. Click on the other icon (the é) and you'll find an easy-access way of including foreign language letters and characters in your books.

  1. Appreciate the bullet option. Thank you!! Are we able to use sub-bullet points, too. For example, can we use a bullet point underneath the traditional bullet point?
