In this video, I\u2019ll show you how to use Moodle\u2019s editor to add and format text. I\u2019ll be working with a Text and media area<\/em> as an example, but the same steps apply anywhere you use the editor.<\/p>

To add text, start typing in the editor or paste in your text. You can make the text entry field bigger by dragging the small handle in the bottom\u2011right corner.<\/p>

At the top of the editor, you\u2019ll see a toolbar with lots of familiar features, similar to what you\u2019d find in word processors like Microsoft Word. There are buttons to make text bold or italic, add hyperlinks, adjust alignment and indentation, and create lists or equations.<\/p>

Keep in mind that some toolbar buttons might be hidden, especially if you're using a smaller screen or have zoomed in on the page. To reveal all options, select the three dots (\u2026) to expand the toolbar.<\/p>

When you highlight text, a quick toolbar will appear. This gives you fast access to common formatting tools. For example, to format this text as a heading, highlight it and select H3. To make this word bold, highlight it and select the bold icon.<\/p>

Accessibility tip!<\/strong><\/p>

Remember, always format headings with the built-in heading styles. This helps students using assistive technologies like screen readers interpret the structure of the page.<\/p>

For more formatting options, open the Format<\/em> menu. For example, to format text as code, highlight it, go to Format<\/em>, and choose Code<\/em>.<\/p>

To insert a table, select Table<\/em> in the toolbar. Use the grid to choose how many rows and columns you need. Once the table is added, you can still make changes either by using the shortcut toolbar that appears when you select the table, or by selecting Table<\/em> again in the top menu.<\/p>

Under Tools<\/em>, you\u2019ll find other useful features like the Accessibility checker<\/em> and the Source code<\/em> viewer, which lets you edit the HTML directly if you need to.<\/p>
