Hey folks.
I’m very new to Evolve authoring and I’m attempting to migrate an HTML document I have into a shiny new Evolve course.
Upon copying and pasting into a [body] box, I started to notice that Evolve was interpreting much of the basic HTML tags present within my original document.
For example, ordered list items were gaining a number to start at.
Where **was in the source, it was automatically applying it (as bold) in the box.
The same for _and italics.
Even monospace fonts samples in the source were retaining the ` tags.`_**
**_`
While Bold and Italics have their own button, the monospace font does not. In addition, the ability to alter my list numbering has been great within my flow component, as I use one step per reveal but want to retain the indent level on subsequent lines.
So my query is; if this level of basic HTML structure tagging is available for use within Evolve, where are the buttons/options in the UI to achieve the same result?
I find it hard to believe the only way to achieve a monospace font or start my ordered list item numbering is to build an HTML page first, then copy and paste the items into Evolve!
In addition, when a review comes along and needs to make changes, it’s going to be a world of pain trying to explain this to them!
Am I missing some setting or other to enable these essential features or is there some interesting markup codes I should be aware of to achieve the same result?
Many thanks.
J`_**

And oh the irony that my question got formatting so strangely!!
