Lists follow a common skeleton every time — an outer container tag, and a new tag for each bullet.
Observe:
- Item 1
- Item 2
Undo
The undo button will allow you to cancel the last change you made to the text i.e. if you accientally delete some text you could press the undo button and the text shoudl re-appear.
Underline
The underline button is a way to highlight some text by putting a line underneath it. Simple select existing text and hit the button and it will become underlined or alternatively hit the underline button and start typing and from then on everything you type will be underlined.
Obeserve: This sentance has one word underlined.
StrikeThrough
Strikethrough (also called strikeout) is a typographical presentation of words with a horizontal line through the center of them.
Simple select existing text and hit the button and it will become strikedthrough or alternatively hit the strikethrough button and start typing and from then on everything you type will be strikedthrough.
Here is an example.
The word strikethrough should have a line through it.
