Formatting text

Written by
Yandex Cloud
  • Formatting toolbar
  • Markup elements

You can format text using special symbols called markup elements. Markup elements are used to bold or italize a piece of text, add headings and lists to a page, embed links, images, tables, and more.

To add markup elements to your page, use the formatting toolbar or type markup symbols on your keyboard. You'll see the result in the preview panel on the right.

Formatting toolbar

Use the toolbar at the top of the page to add common formatting elements to the text.

There are two ways you can use the formatting toolbar:

  • To add a markup element to your text, place the cursor in the desired position and click a button on the formatting toolbar. A markup template will appear in the text. Insert your own text in the template. Clicking Add link or Embed code will open a new window. Enter your text in the window and click Add.

  • To format text that has already been added to the page, select a text fragment and click a button on the formatting toolbar.

To undo text formatting, delete the markup symbols manually.

Note

You may notice that the toolbar buttons create markup symbols that are different from the Markdown markup. This markup type is supported along with Markdown and is correctly displayed on the page.

Markup elements

Wiki supports Markdown markup with additional formatting elements that are not present in the standard Markdown syntax.

This section lists the most common markup features. For a complete list of supported elements, see Markdown markup.
