# Formatting Text in Posts, Courses, Checklists & Skill Checks

The appearance of text, including font size, bold/italic, bulleted & numbered lists and links can be controlled in R365 Training in a number of our features, including:

- Newsfeed Posts
- Course Builder
  - Text/HTML Units, Content section
  - Image Units, Content section
  - Library Item, Content section
  - Question Unit
    - Additional Content section
    - Correct & Incorrect Answer Feedback

In all of these areas, you can easy format text using **Markdown,** a popular online syntax.

The Text/HTML unit window has a simple Markdown menu that you can use to create the syntax. The tools are:

- Bold
- Italic
- Heading
- Blockquote
- Ordered List
- Unordered List
- Preview

When you click the buttons like the **Heading** button, the tool will insert the appropriate Markdown syntax (which is #).

To see a preview of what the final rendered text will look like you can click the **Preview** button (the eye symbol)

The same process works for Bold, Italic, Quotes, Lists and More.

**Inserting a Link**

To create a link, enclose the link text in brackets (e.g., [ExpandShare]) and then follow it immediately with the URL in parentheses (e.g., ([https://expandshare.com](https://expandshare.com/)).
