Edit Page Layout in HTML Editor

What Are Layout Tools?

The HTML editor contains a number of tools that allow you to adjust the alignment of your text and add numbered and bulleted lists as well as lines.

Note

These tools embed code into your text that helps screen readers navigate the content. We recommend using them instead of the space bar, tabs, numbers, or other keys to align your text or create lists.
