What actions can I perform using the Rich Text Editor icons?
Note: Depending on your implementation, you may have more icons or fewer icons available to you in the Rich Text Editor. There are several third-party tools that integrate with the editor and display as additional icons in the editing toolbar (e.g., equation editors, video management applications, etc.). Also, some institutions hide seldom-used icons to make the appearance of the editing toolbar more compact.
