To format a text generally means to change its appearance or organization for better readability, presentation, or style. Here are some common options and actions that relate to text formatting:
- Font Style: Changing the font type (e.g., Arial, Times New Roman).
- Font Size: Adjusting the size of the text.
- Bold: Making the text appear thicker and darker.
- Italic: Slanting the text to the right for emphasis.
- Underline: Adding a line beneath the text.
- Strikethrough: Drawing a line through the text to indicate deletion or correction.
- Text Color: Changing the color of the text.
- Highlight Color: Adding a background color to the text.
- Alignment: Adjusting the text alignment (left, center, right, or justified).
- Line Spacing: Changing the amount of space between lines of text.
- Paragraph Spacing: Adjusting the space before or after a paragraph.
- Bullets and Numbering: Adding bullet points or numbering to lists.
- Indentation: Moving text in from the left or right margin.
- Text Direction: Changing the orientation of the text (e.g., horizontal vs. vertical).
These options can be found in word processors, text editors, and sometimes even in HTML/CSS for web content.
