We need basic text and font coloring in the editor, like you have MS Word.

Marsha Hippensteel Erica Dyson emma Quinn Hilde Verweire kindly access our new Block Editor where colors to the text and tables can be applied of your choice. Feel free to share your feedbacks after having hands-on the same.

Same for the tables, you can set the background colour but have to edit the HTML if you want to change the text colour. The usability could be massively improved with some additional formatting options

emma Quinn: Hi Emma. It's doable--can select text (within same cell) and then apply "Text color" (or "Background color" to highlight, etc. from main (i.e., non-table) menu). (I use hex numbers to match our branding.)

But completely agree with your "the usability could be massively improved, with some additional formatting options"!

Hi Hilde Verweire & Erica Dyson Thank you for your request. We currently have the option to add the Basic text colours in the WYSIWYG editor.
To achieve the text colours in Markdown, use the following HTML code: 
<span style="color: Brown;"><span> SAMPLE TEXT <span style="color: Brown;"></span>

Erica Dyson

And don't forget for Markdown.. we love Markdown but it has its limits :-)

Erica Dyson

Thanks

Hi Hilde. I agree we need much better word processing/WYSIWYG options/controls!!!

FYI in the meantime, there are text (Text color) and highlight (Background color) options (next to each other, from the "More text" menu.
