Rich Text
The rich text box is an inline text editor that allows users to apply various formatting options including, bold, italic, symbols and subscript, through to complex tables, numbered lists and hyperlinks. The rich text box includes a spell checker.
Usage
Rich text is used for situations where larger sections of formatted content are being captured.
Also users are able to select formatting based on a collection of predefined Word styles. The available styles include any non-standard text styles contained within the base document or content library.
Add the question into the desired location in the project or Pages Panel
A Rich Text question keeps its source format when pasting from formatted content like Word.
It can also insert styled content into templates that are style aware such as Word templates. Some non-style-aware templates include fillable PDFs, text files, and JSON. Inserting content into these templates will result in the HTML tags being inserted as well.
