Setting your preferred text editor

You can specify your preferred text editor for composing messages, creating member notices, entering calendar events, and creating or editing wiki pages on group websites:

  1. Display your account settings.
  2. Desktop browser: In the left menu, select Preferences.
    Mobile device: Tap the Prefs icon at the bottom of the page.
  3. On the resulting page, scroll down to the Editor Preference panel.
  4. From the list, select the editor you want to use for composing text on group websites:

    • Select this editor to compose text in HTML using a full-featured editor that includes a formatting toolbar.
      ‎Note: If you join a group that the owner has set to Plain Text Only, your message composition page will not use the HTML editor.

    • Select this editor to compose text in a markup language that looks and works like plain text as you edit it. Markdown uses particular characters or sequences of characters to represent formatting such as bold, italic, bulleted and numbered lists, links, and headings. With this editor, the only buttons available on the text formatting toolbar are Quote Whole Post and Add Attachments.

    • Select this editor to compose text with no additional formatting.

  5. Go to the bottom of the page and click or tap Update Preferences.
