Use headings format for titles:

  • H2 for main article sections (like the title above)
  • H3 for sub-sections (like below)

Sections and sub-sections title will be automatically formatted and numbered when published, and will be linked in the TOC menu on the right site

This is an example sub-section (h3)

Use paragraph titles to separate different important topics within the same section or sub-section. These won't be numbered or listed in the side toc menu.

This is an example pargraph title (Title h4)

 Definition Term
Definition Description. Use the formats "Definition Terms" and "Definition Description" for lists of item to define and describe. 

 

Check this video about definition terms and description format use

Preformatted

The pre element should be used for text that has typographic formatting
that affects the meaning of the content,
such as in poems, ASCII art, transcripts, and, of course, computer code.
Note that this format doesn't allow automatic text wrapping, and will display an horizontal scrollbar for longer lines

 

Alert boxes

You can create an alert box with the text editor, by formatting any text as "DIV" and the assigning the desired style from the editor drop-down menus: 

Alert message
Use alert messages to provide positive tips to the reader
 

Alert notice
Use alert notice to give some information, or higlight some key points  of the current article

Alert Warning
Use alert warning to stress urgent actions, or behaviours to be avoided 

Alert Error

Within boxes you can still style the text and use shift+enter for line breaks
