-=====Direct Formatting=====
-We use **[[public:nnels:etext:template-styles|styles]]** to format text, and not direct formatting (i.e. we do not use the tools in the toolbar).
-Styles allow readers to change how the formatting is presented.
-For example, a reader can change the thickness of a bolded word if it has been marked up with the ''Strong'' style.
-If direct formatting is used, readers can't change the content in a way that works for them (they are unable to load their own style set).
-There are few exceptions to this rule. We use direct formatting for:
-  * [[public:nnels:etext:lists|lists]]
-  * superscript/subscript numbers
-  * [[public:nnels:etext:columns|columns]]
-  * [[public:nnels:etext:bold-italics-underline-strikethrough#underline|underline and strikethrough]] (**very rarely**)
