When using a text block, such as a Paragraph, Header, or List Block, a Rich Text menu with more editing options will be available to you in the selected block's toolbar. This gives you additional ways to customize your text aside from the pinned toolbar options.
Click the ArrowheadIcon in the toolbar to see the additional options.
Highlight
Using the Highlight option in a text block's toolbar is a great way to ensure specific text stands out to a reader. It allows you to change the color of text and its background.
Add Highlight To Text Or Background
Select the text in the block you would like to Highlight, or don't select if you would like to type your text in desired color(s).
Click the Arrowhead Icon in the selected block's toolbar and choose the Highlight option.
In the modal window that appears, select the Text color and/or Background color using the tabs to update the selected text.
You can select from the palette colors, or click the checkered bar to either enter a Hex, RGB, or HSL number or use the color picker.
Click anywhere outside the modal window. Either your selected text will have color(s) applied and/or any new typed text will show the applied changes.
Note: If your cursor is in a text block, and the toolbar's Arrowhead Icon is highlighted, it means Rich Text elements are applied and will apply to any new text added.
Remove Highlight To Text Or Background
To remove either the text color or background color:
Click any portion of the highlighted text.
Click the Arrowhead Icon and select the Highlight option.
Navigate to the desired tab for Text or Background and click the "Clear" button.
To remove color from only some of the highlighted text:
Select the word(s) to remove the text color or highlight color from by highlighting the specific words using your mouse.
Click the Arrowhead Icon and select the Highlight option.
Navigate to the desired tab for Text or Background and click the "Clear" button.
Inline Code
The Inline Code option allows for adding code snippets to your text block. This option provides a way to include code in your content without executing the code.
In the example above, the reader will see the code necessary to create a hyperlink, instead of the hyperlinked wording.
Add Inline Code
Either select the existing text you would like to make into a code snippet, or place your cursor where you would like to start a new code snippet.
Click the Arrowhead Icon in the block's toolbar and select Inline Code.
Your selected text will now show as a code snippet, or if no text was highlighted, will allow you to type with this element applied.
Remove Inline Code
To completely remove the entire code snippet:
Click any portion of the code, then click on the Arrowhead Icon.
Click Inline Code, and your text will return to the block's default style.
To remove only a portion of the code snippet:
Highlight the portion of the code you wish to return to the block's regular formatting, then click on the Arrowhead Icon.
Click Inline Code, and your text will return to the block's default style.
Note: If your cursor is in a text block, and the toolbar's Arrowhead Icon is highlighted, it means Rich Text elements are applied and will apply to any new text added.
Keyboard Input
Keyboard Input formats the text to stand out as the keyboard action required. For example, if you wanted to let someone know the keyboard shortcut for Paste, you would use this option to show a reader to type Ctrl + V.
Use Keyboard Input
Either select the existing text you would like to make a Keyboard Input, or place your cursor where you'd like to start one.
Click the Arrowhead Icon in the block's toolbar and select Keyboard Input.
Your selected text will now show as a Keyboard Input, or if no text was highlighted, will allow you to type with this element applied.

Click Keyboard Input, and your text will return to the block's default style.
Note: If your cursor is in a text block, and the toolbar's Arrowhead Icon is highlighted, it means Rich Text elements are applied, and will apply to any new text added.
Strikethrough
Using the Strikethrough option adds a line through your text.
Add Strikethrough
Either select the existing text you would like use, or place your cursor where you'd like to start to use Strikethrough.
Click the Arrowhead Icon in the block's toolbar and select Strikethrough.
Your selected text will now show with a line through it, or if no text was highlighted, will allow you to type with this element applied.

To remove only a portion of the Strikethrough line:
Highlight the portion of the text with the Strikethrough you would like to remove, then click the Arrowhead Icon.

Subscript and Superscript
The Subscript and Superscript options allow you to add either to your text.
Add Subscript or Superscript
Either select the existing text you would like use, or place your cursor where you'd like to start typing either a Subscript or Superscript.
Click the Arrowhead Icon in the block's toolbar and select Subscript or Superscript.
Your selected text will now show slightly below or above the normal line of type depending on the option you select. If no text was highlighted, this will allow you to type with the specific format applied.
Remove Subscript or Superscript
To remove the Subscript or Superscript text completely:
Click any part of the Subscript or Superscript text, then click the Arrowhead Icon.
Click the option you wish to remove - either Subscript or Superscript - and your text will return to the block's default style.
To remove only a portion of your Subscript or Superscript text:
Highlight the portion of the text you wish to return to the block's regular formatting, then click the Arrowhead Icon.
Click the appropriate option in the menu - either Subscript or Superscript - and your text will return to the block's default style.

Clear Unknown Formatting
In certain situations, you may come across an option in the block toolbar to Clear Unknown Formatting. This option will only appear if the system detects unrecognized formatting in a block; in the pinned toolbar, you will see a symbol containing a question mark appear. Choosing the Clear Unknown Formatting option will remove any unrecognized code that is affecting your content. That said, it is not necessary to clear the unknown formatting in order to apply other rich text editing.
For example, the Clear Unknown Formatting option might appear when you have copied and pasted content from a document editor such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word, or if you have used the Edit as HTML option in the More options menu.
