Format text to be bold, italicized, or underlined.
Change the face, size, style and colour.
Left, centre, or right-justify paragraphs.
Make bulleted or numbered lists.
Indent or un-indent paragraphs.

What are the browser requirements for WYSIWYG HTML editor?
WYSIWYG editor requires Internet Explorer 5.5 or better on Windows to run. This is because it makes use of some advanced features of IE5.5 that aren't available in other browsers yet. It is backwards compatible with other browsers, though. They will get a regular textarea field instead of a WYSIWYG editor.
