Text Editor pages give you everything you need to structure your notes: headings, lists, colours, highlights and links.
The formatting toolbar #
Select some text and the formatting toolbar appears above it.
From left to right you can:

- Color and Highlight: colour the text or give it a background highlight.
- Bold, Italic, Underline and Strikethrough.
- Link: turn the text into a web link.
- Bulleted, numbered and to-do lists, and indent or outdent.
- Undo and redo.
The slash menu #
Type / at the start of a line to add content without leaving the keyboard. Start typing to filter the list, then press Enter or click an option.
- Add a Page: create a new page and link to it.
- Link a Page: link to a page that already exists.
- Cite a Page: add a citation to one of your sources.
