Select text and apply a style using a button, a keyboard shortcut, or Markdown syntax.\n\n## Basic styles\n\n| Style | Shortcut | Markdown | Result |\n|-------|----------|----------|--------|\n| **Bold** | `Ctrl+B` | `**text**` | Emphasizes important content |\n| *Italic* | `Ctrl+I` | `*text*` | Subtle emphasis |\n| Underline | `Ctrl+U` | — | Underlined text |\n| ~~Strikethrough~~ | `Ctrl+Shift+S` | `~~text~~` | Crossed-out text |\n| `Code` | `Ctrl+E` | `` `code` `` | Monospaced font |\n\n::callout{type=\"info\" title=\"For macOS\"}\nUse `⌘` (Cmd) instead of `Ctrl`. The rest of the keys are the same.\n::\n\n## Text color\n\nWant to highlight a word or phrase with color? Select the text and choose a color from the toolbar. The color palette is designed to keep text readable in both light and dark themes.\n\nText color is useful for:\n- Visually separating categories\n- Highlighting key terms\n- Marking up text during editing (e.g., red for \"needs rewriting\")\n\n## Highlighter (background color)\n\nWorks like a physical highlighter on paper — it gives text a colored background. Several highlighter colors are available. Select the text and press `Ctrl+Shift+H` or choose a highlighter color from the toolbar.\n\n::callout{type=\"tip\" title=\"Highlighter + color = a system\"}\nTry using colors systematically. For example: yellow highlighter for important items, green for done, red for needs revision. This is handy for collaborative work.\n::\n\n## Font size\n\nFor those cases when a heading is too much, but regular text is too little. Change the font size for any text fragment through the toolbar.\n\n## Clear formatting\n\nHas your text turned into a \"colorful carnival\"? Select it and press `Ctrl+Shift+N` — all styles will be removed, leaving plain text. Very useful when pasting text from other applications.\n\n## Combining styles\n\nStyles can be combined. Text can be bold, italic, and underlined at the same time — if you really need it. But remember: less formatting means easier reading.\n\nOverview of all editor capabilities — on the [editor page](/features/editor).\n\n---\n\n[Next: Content blocks →](/docs/editor/blocks)\n",{"toc":21,"type":44,"value":45},{"depth":22,"links":23,"title":43,"searchDepth":22},3,[24,28,31,34,37,40],{"id":25,"text":26,"depth":27},"basic-styles","Basic styles",2,{"id":29,"text":30,"depth":27},"text-color","Text color",{"id":32,"text":33,"depth":27},"highlighter-background-color","Highlighter (background color)",{"id":35,"text":36,"depth":27},"font-size","Font size",{"id":38,"text":39,"depth":27},"clear-formatting","Clear formatting",{"id":41,"text":42,"depth":27},"combining-styles","Combining styles","","minimark",[46,51,55,58,184,200,202,205,208,221,223,230,237,239,242,244,251,253,256,265,268],[47,48,50],"h1",{"id":49},"text-formatting","Text formatting",[52,53,54],"p",{},"Formatting in LiveAI works just as you'd expect — much like any text editor, only faster.
