Version: ELN v3.x

Text Editor

Text editors appear throughout the ELN, and text templates let users insert ready-made paragraphs with a single click — handy for content written repeatedly. Everyone can create their own personal templates. Global templates (shared across the whole ELN) can be viewed by anyone and edited by users with the Global Template Editor privilege.

Formatting utilities: standard text formatting (bold, italic, lists, etc.).
User-defined custom text templates: icons or dropdown menus for personal templates or global templates.
Configuration: pop-up menu to configure text templates in the editor.

Using and customizing icons​

Users can use predefined templates and their own templates when the cursor is active in the editor. Click an icon to insert the text template content at the cursor position.
