When adding text to your fundraising page, you can just type regular text (separate paragraphs with a blank line). But if you want to use bold, italics, bulleted lists, etc., this formatting guide will show you how.
To indicate that a set of words should be formatted in a specific way, use HTML tags, which are just simple commands enclosed in < >'s. In most cases, you'll need to enclose a set of words inside a pair of tags, which indicate the beginning and ending of the text to be formatted.
The simplest way to explain it is by way of example, which we've provided below.
| Feature and tags | Example using tags | Resulting appearance |
|---|---|---|
|
Bold: <strong> </strong> |
Losing is <strong>not</strong> an option. | Losing is not an option. |

Italics: <em> </em> |
