Using Text Entry

Adding text in the LMS is usually through a text entry area.

The LMS provides a HTML editor as part of the text entry area, which includes some common and familiar formatting tools:

  • Font family - The default font is Trebuchet, but you can select different fonts to meet your needs.
  • Font size - The default font size is 12 but varying the size of your font helps differentiate between headings and the body of the text.
  • Format - The Format dropdown options provide a range of pre-set styles which help you format your text. Paragraph is the default.
