  • Headline size 1 - Format headlines to structure.
  • Headline size 2 - Format headlines to structure.
  • Block - Format a block of text to identify quotations. A block quotation is a quotation in a written document that is set off from the main text as a paragraph, or block of text and typically distinguished visually using indentation and a different typeface or smaller size font.
  • Code - Allows you to format a block of text as a code snippet. Please note, that formatting text as a code snippet does not provide the ability to run code within Bud. 
  • Link - Create a hyperlink.
  • Image - Inserts images into the document. Note: When adding an image, Bud will ask you to add an Alt Tag description. Every image element must contain the ALT attribute within a page’s HTML markup. It’s the first principle of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, without them a page is inaccessible.  For further guidance on Adding an Alt tag, click here.
  • Movie - Inserts movie/audio into the document.

While some basic HTML can be used, Rich Text views are not code views so some elements may be stripped from the view when saved.
