• Formatting text

The way to edit the text in the content area, depends the current role or permissions of the user in a context.

• A teacher will see many ("edit hand") icons on a course's home page when "Turn editing on" button has been clicked. Or they will see the HTML editor and content area within many activities and resources. For example, a teacher can edit the text that appears at the top of a section in a course by clicking on the edit hand icon.

• A student and a teacher will see the HTML tool when they reply to a forum post but will not have the ability of changing a topic heading in the course.
