Text styling and more
Audience story
As a contributor, I want to be able to stylize the text I am publishing on talk pages and add additional content, like images and links.
Relevant information
- Text formating options include:
- Bold - Similar behavior to ‘bold’ in article Wikisource editing, but here, leave out the quotation marks around the highlighted word.
- Italic - Similar behavior to ‘italic’ in article Wikisource editing, but here, leave out the quotation marks around the highlighted word.
- Add an image - Will have similar behavior to adding an image in the article wikisource editing. Is there a need to keep the ‘Media Settings’ page? Maybe for the ‘Alternative text’ description?
- Add a link - Will it have similar behavior to adding a link in the article Wikisource editing or will one be able to just add the link and have the highlighted text turn blue?
