| + | The content editor enables the user to create or modify a lesson. The lesson |
| + | is an HTML web page. The editor (tinymce) fenables the content to be edited as |
| + | plain text. Some patience is required because the editor is going from plain text to |
| + | HTML modes character-by-character. |
| + | |
| + | The editor provides a relatively standard toolbar: |

| + | |
| + | The tool bar has three rows of tools divided into groups by a vertical bar '|' |
| + | The first group in the top row selects the font family: bold, italic, underline, . |
| + | The next group aligns the text: left, center, right, full (aligned both left and right). |
| + | The third group has two lists. The first lists the css classes defined in the global stylesheet. |
| + | It is not very useful in the editor. However, the second lists predefined text styles such as |
| + | 'paragraph' - the default for body text and several forms for headings. Heading 1 is appropriate for a screen or activity title, heading 2 for subtitles. |
| + | |
| + | In the second row, the first group selects a bulleted list (unordered) or a numbered list (ordered). The next group selects an outdent (move line left) and indent (move line right). |
| + | The next group selects undo (roll back the previous edit) or redo (undo the undo). |
| + | |
| + | The last group in the second row has seven tools. These are not currently useful with the content editor. |
| + | |
| + | In the first group of the third row, the first tool inserts a horizontal rule. This is used in Learn to identify a screen boundary. In the second group, the first tool selects a superscript mode. The second sets a subscript mode. The tool in the third group allows the insertion of a special character from a table of special characters. |
