Formatting Text

Bold, italics, links: In a component’s text fields, a few characters around a word are all it takes to format it.

In a component’s text fields, you can highlight a word without taking your hands off the keyboard: just enclose it in a few characters. Type **hello**, and your page will display hello.

• **two asterisks** on either side → bold
• *one asterisk* on each side → italics
• [our map](https://exemple.fr) → a clickable link to the specified address
• In a heading, a single asterisk underlines the text instead of italicizing it (see below)

All symbols#

In headings, a single asterisk = bold#

The Title field for large blocks (Title / tagline, welcome banners) has its own rule: *word* doesn’t italicize the word here; it highlights it in your theme’s colors. This is the colored effect seen in welcome titles, and you choose which word to highlight.

Pressing Enter breaks the title where you want it to, rather than letting the browser decide. Other characters have no effect here: a title is already bold, and **two asterisks** would display as-is.

Add a link#

Write the text that the visitor will see between square brackets, followed immediately by the URL in parentheses: [reserve your table](https://exemple.fr/reservation). An email address is written the same way: [write to us](mailto:contact@exemple.fr). A link to another site opens in a new tab.

Line breaks#

In fields that span multiple lines (text, tagline, response, etc.), simply press the Enter key: the line break will be preserved on your page. In single-line fields, this isn’t possible—that’s normal.

Three Useful Tips#

• The symbols must be right next to the word: **thank you** works, ** thank you ** is displayed as is.
• Make one or two words bold, not an entire sentence: if everything is bold, nothing stands out.
• There’s no risk in trying: the result appears immediately on the page, and the Undo button on the toolbar lets you go back.
