You can use different text styles to emphasize content:

Underline - Draws attention to key information

Strikethrough – Indicates outdated or unnecessary text

→ Mathematical symbols

  • Bullet points (•, -, >) – Ideal for listing key points

Indenting text (aligning to the left, center, or right)

Pilcrow (¶) symbol used to mark paragraph breaks

→ Adding a link to a text

Allows inserting links to words and text:

Add link to word or text.

You can add a link to a word or phrase to direct users to external resources like:

  1. Websites

  2. Internal intranet pages

  3. Email addresses

  4. Phone numbers

  5. Other relevant documents or FAQs

You can easily add a link to a word or phrase to direct users to external resources or relevant information.

How to Add a Link to a Word or Text

  1. Select the word or sentence you want to link.

  2. Click on the link icon (usually represented by a chain symbol).

  3. In the link box, enter the URL of the website or resource.

→ Formatting text size and colour

Allows formatting text to words and text:

Header/Text size – Adjust text hierarchy for better organisation

  • Text color – Customize the font color for emphasis

  • Background color – Highlight sections with a coloured background

📌 Note: When copying text from another application or website and pasting it into the editor in Appical, the text may retain its original background color. This happens because the copied text carries over its previous formatting. You can fix this by changing the background color to transparent.
