| − | == Font ==
| |
| − | In CKEditor the '''Font''' is the typeface that will be applied to the document text. Fonts are pre-defined sets of characters with uniform styling collected under one name. The CKEditor collection of fonts includes most popular [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif serif fonts] (Times New Roman, Georgia), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans_serif sans-serif fonts] (Arial, Verdana, Tahoma), and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font monospaced fonts] (Courier New).

| − | In CKEditor it is possible to combine these styles or use them in conjunction with other formatting methods. It is worth remembering, however, that bold, italics, underline, and strike-through often have special meaning. Strike-through, for example, is often employed to denote the recently deleted text, while underline may suggest recently inserted text or a link. Since their usage is partly standardized, it is important to use these styles consistently across your documents.

Text formatting determines the way your text will look in the document. Advanced capabilities in editing text format is what distinguishes CKEditor from a standard website form text area or a basic editor. Font styling, changing the size of the text, its size and color, or applying a pre-defined set of consistent styles all happen within seconds, with one mouse click. Experiment with various CKEditor text formatting options to achieve a unique presentation of your documents.
Subscript is a character that is slightly smaller than the text that surrounds it and is set below the baseline. It is often used in mathematical expressions to denote a variable version or the denominator part of a fraction.
Subscript is a character that is slightly smaller than the text that surrounds it and is set above the baseline. It is often used in mathematical expressions to denote power or the numerator part of a fraction. In normal text superscript often directs a user to a footnote; some special characters are often added as superscript by default.
Styles are pre-defined combinations of various formatting options that make it easier to keep the presentation of the text uniform. What is more, since a style often contains a number of features at once, when you want to customize the way a text fragment looks, you do not need to change a font, its size, or text and background color separately.
Paragraph formats are pre-defined block-level combinations of various formatting options that make it easier to keep the presentation of the text uniform. What is more, since a style often contains a number of features at once, when you want to customize the way a text fragment looks, you do not need to change a font, its size, or text and background color separately.
To choose a paragraph format, place the cursor inside the block-level element and press the 
toolbar button. The Paragraph Format drop-down list contains a number of pre-defined block-level styles that you can use. To make the choice easier, the format names are displayed in a format that they represent, giving you a preview of what the text will look like.
