Activate edit mode
All text elements in quote lightning can be edited using a rich text editor. Clicking on the text element will display a blue pen icon on the right edge:
This opens the edit mode:
Formatting options
The following formatting options are available for selection, they will be displayed at the top of the quote once the text area is in edit mode.
Icon | Function | Example |
|---|---|---|
 | Text written in bold | quote lightning |
 | Text written in italics | quote lightning |
 | Text underlined | quote lightning |
 | Text crossed out |
|
 | Bullet points |
|
 | Enumeration numeric |
|
 | Indent paragraph | quote lightning quote lightning |
 | Undo indentation | quote lightning quote lightning |
 | Left alignment | quote lightning |
 | Centered alignment | quote lightning |
 | Right alignment | quote lightning |
 | Delete formatting | Deletes all stored text information |
 | Save and close | Applies the text changes and closes the edit mode. |
The penultimate point - Delete formatting - is especially important when text elements are inserted from other sources, e.g. emails or MS Office documents. The formatting implicit in can lead to an incorrect view in the PDF. If this alone is not sufficient, we recommend converting the affected text area to "plain text" in a text editor and thus freeing it from all formatting.
Limitations of the rich text editor
Not included in the rich text editor are options for editing:
Font size
Font color
Font type
These settings can only be set up globally in the CSS style sheet. This ensures that consistent formatting is maintained for all documents according to the corporate CI.
Important to know: Text areas formatted in Flex in a template, e.g. size and color of the heading, are preserved - but only as long as they are not edited in the lightning editor. If a fixed formatting is desired here, the quote admin can provide the relevant area in the template with a CSS class and create the desired formatting for the CSS class at the client for this purpose.
