Format commands
The Format menu contains commands that apply formatting to the text in the edit window on the RichTexts page. If any text is selected, the character-level commands are applied to the selection; without a text selection, the commands determine how subsequently typed text will be formatted. Paragraph-level commands are applied to all selected paragraphs, or to the paragraph containing the caret if there is no selection.
The RichTexts page contains a toolbar that duplicates most of the commands for easier access.
