Text formatting
Apply bold, italic, underline and strikethrough to any selection. Raise or lower characters with superscript and subscript for scientific notation, footnotes and chemical formulae. Remove all inline formatting at once with the Clear Formatting button.
Headings and paragraph structure
Use the Heading dropdown to apply H1 through H6 heading levels. Well-structured headings make long documents easier to navigate and improve accessibility for screen-reader users.
Lists
Create unordered (bullet) lists for collections of items and ordered (numbered) lists for step-by-step instructions. Use Indent and Outdent to create nested sub-lists with multiple levels of hierarchy.
Fonts and colours
Choose from seven font families — Arial, Comic Sans MS, Courier, Georgia, Tahoma, Times New Roman and Verdana — and seven size presets from Tiny to Huge. Pick any colour for text foreground and background highlight using the native colour picker.
Links and images
Highlight text and click the link icon to wrap it in a hyperlink, or remove a link with one click. Insert images from a web URL, upload a file directly from your device, or embed a YouTube or Vimeo video by pasting its URL — all without leaving the editor.
Tables
Insert a table of up to 4 × 4 cells from the toolbar menu. Once inserted, place your cursor in any cell and use the Table menu to add a row below, delete a row, add a column to the right, or delete a column. The first row is automatically formatted as a header row.
Blockquotes and code blocks
Format a paragraph as a blockquote to pull out a citation or highlight an important passage. Switch any paragraph to a code/pre block for displaying command-line instructions, code snippets or other monospace content.
Find and replace
Open the Find & Replace bar (or press Ctrl+H / ⌘+H) to search your document with highlighted matches. Step through results one at a time with the arrow buttons, replace individual matches, or replace all occurrences at once.
Markdown mode
Toggle Markdown mode to write in plain Markdown syntax with a live-rendered preview pane beside it. The preview updates as you type. Switch back to rich-text mode at any time to continue formatting with the toolbar.
Source HTML view
Click the Source button to view and edit the raw HTML behind your document. This is useful for pasting content from other systems, troubleshooting formatting, or hand-crafting HTML elements the toolbar does not expose.
Export and print
Download your document as a self-contained HTML file you can open in any browser — useful for archiving or sharing offline. Open a print-ready PDF view to print directly or save as a PDF using your browser's print dialog.
Share via URL
Click the Share button to compress your document content and encode it into a shareable URL. Anyone who opens the link sees the same document, ready to read or edit — no account, no server, no file attachment required. For very long documents, an optional GitHub Gist fallback generates a shorter link.
Auto-save
Your content is saved automatically to your browser's local storage as you type, with a short debounce delay to avoid excessive writes. Closing and reopening the tab restores exactly where you left off, without any manual save step.
Dark mode and fullscreen
Toggle Dark mode for comfortable editing in low-light environments. Switch to Fullscreen to expand the editor to the full browser window, hiding everything else for a distraction-free writing experience.
Special characters and emoji
Open the character picker to insert commonly used symbols — copyright ©, registered ®, trademark ™, currency signs, arrows, fractions, typographic punctuation — as well as a curated set of emoji, all at a single click.
Keyboard shortcuts
Standard keyboard shortcuts work throughout the editor: Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I for italic, Ctrl+U for underline, Ctrl+Z to undo, Ctrl+Y (or ⌘+Shift+Z on Mac) to redo, Ctrl+H to open Find & Replace. Press Enter in the URL bar to confirm, and Escape to dismiss it.
