How do I format text in SilkStart?

SilkStart provides a WYSIWYG editor for you to edit your site - so you don't need to know how to code in HTML to be able to build and maintain your SilkStart site. WYSIWYG stands for 'What You See Is What You Get' - basically, they allow you to just design, rather than having to write code. Writing and formatting in a WYSIWYG editor is very similar to working in Word or Outlook.

Where is this editor used on my SilkStart site?

The WYSIWYG editor is used in most places that you create content for your site, including:

• Custom webpages
• Email Campaigns
• Event pages
• Articles
