Editing Rich Text

Some of the fields in a content item may contain rich text (that is, formatted text). A typical textual content item has one such field (often called body) that holds the main content. When you put the cursor in a field that contains rich text, the formatting bar displayed at the top of the content editor (see Formatting Bar) is enabled:

You can then use the buttons in this bar to format the text you enter. The tools available in the formatting bar may vary from publication to publication.

Internally, the formatted text is stored as XHTML.
