Format text

Currently, Ellipsus supports basic text formatting. Just open a document and click on Format in the right-hand sidebar (It will look like a capital T) to open the formatting panel.

Now you can:

Use bold, italics, strikethrough, or underline effects to words or sentences.
Add headers (Ellipsus supports H1, H2, H3, H3) or captions.
Add bulleted or numbered lists, block quotes, horizontal dividers, and code snippets.

Looking for a way to add a link to your text? Just select the text you want to hyperlink and use the right-click menu or type ⌘ (or Ctrl) + V to paste a URL.
