Bold and italics.

[Hornyteenager]

How to write in bold and italics. English is not my first language and my knowledge about technology sucks so I can't understand the instructions in the guide. From what I could you have to "highlight" a phrase and press b or I. Is that how it's done and if so how does one"highlight" a phrase?

click and hold your left mouse button

Now move it over a text. This is referred to as "highlighting"

If you do that in the CHOYA Editor a menu pops up in which you can choose to turn the text bold etc

It should work the same way on a mobile device. (Just tap instead of click.)
That's obviously not quite exact but there should be handles that allow you to adjust the highlighted area.

(This is how it works in general. As I don't use CHYOA on mobile, I can't say for sure.)


Another possibility is to deactivate RTE and write plain Markdown.
To do that, you have to deactivate the option
"Use the rich text editor to create and edit chapters"
on your Settings page. (Note: Do not switch that option while you have a chapter open.)
With plain Markdown, writing

**bold**

or

__bold__

results in
bold
and

*italics*

or

_italics_

results in
italics
(The result is visible after you saved the chapter.)

I'm not sure if that is convenient on a mobile device as asterisks * and underscores _ might not be easily reachable depending on the virtual keyboard layout.


I think a user once mentioned that you could use a shortcut in the browser to switch to bold/italics and then switch back once you're done. Maybe there is something similar on mobile devices.
