The CMS text editor uses a language called BBCode for its formatting. This consists of tags in square brackets, such as [b]bold text[/b] for bold text. [b] is the start tag and [/b] is the ending tag, denoted by a forward slash.

Although you can type these codes yourself, we have included a set of editor buttons which can input the code for you.
