Core Styles (Bold, Italic, Subscript, Superscript)

The text editor provides a set of core styles, in addition to any custom styles provided by the styles drop-down.

To existing text, highlight the text using your mouse or keyboard, then either press the relevant button in the toolbar, or use the keyboard shortcuts described below. 

Bold

This option allows text to be emphasised, typically using darker or thicker letters. To style existing text, select the text then press the "Bold" toolbar button or use the Ctrl+B keyboard shortcut. 

Italic

This option allows text to be emphasised, typically using slanted script style letters. To style existing text, select the text then press the "Italic" toolbar button or use the Ctrl+I keyboard shortcut.

This option allows selected text to be formatted so that it appears in smaller text below the normal line of text. It is normally used to detail formula or chemicals such as H ₂ 0. To style existing text, select the text then press the toolbar "Subscript" button.
