Entering Text
When you begin to edit a new component, the cursor (insertion point) appears
at the upper left of the screen. You can begin typing text directly, and the text
appears in the default font and size. If you press Enter, a line break (
<BR>
element) is inserted after the line. If you want a paragraph element ( <P> ), press
Shift-Enter. See “Structure Elements” for information on other types of text
elements.
The top row of the toolbar contains a set of buttons that operate on the currently
selected text. If no text is selected, they change the setting for any text typed in
at the insertion point.
: These buttons allow you to toggle the style of the currently
selected text. You can set any combination of bold ( <B> ), italics ( <I> ), underline
( <U> ) and typewriter (fixed-width) font ( <TT> ). Note: The user’s web browser
determines how these elements will actually be displayed when the application
is running.
: This pop-up list allows you to set the font size of the currently selected text.
