The Helpjuice article editor offers a powerful set of features designed to help you write, format, and publish content that’s clear, engaging, and easy to navigate. This article walks you through the editor’s core capabilities so you can fully leverage its functionality.

In this article, you’ll learn:

  • What formatting tools are available (text, headings, lists, etc.)
  • How to insert media and other items (images, videos, tables, links)
  • Ways to structure content with special blocks (accordions, tabs, alerts)
  • How to use code or HTML when needed
  • Features that improve workflow (find & replace, remove format)

Key Features of the WYSIWYG Editor

Here are the main features you’ll find in the editor toolbar and content area:

Feature Category What It Does
Text & Typography Headings, font family, font size, styles like bold/italic/strikethrough
Lists & Indentation Ordered & unordered lists; increase/decrease indent
Media & Files Insert images, upload or attach files, embed videos
Links & Internal/External References Insert links, reference other articles, special characters
Tables & Layout Insert tables; horizontal lines; manage alignment
Special Blocks Tabs, accordions, alerts, internal blocks, decision trees
Code & HTML Inline code blocks, full code view (HTML)
Editing Tools Find & replace, remove formatting, clean blocks

Using the Toolbar

Here’s how some of the toolbar items work in practice:

  1. Insert Media
  • Click the Images/Files icon → upload from your computer or choose a file already uploaded → insert into article.
  • For video embedding, paste a video URL or use embed code.
  1. Formatting Text
  • Use heading menus to organize sections (e.g. Heading 1, Heading 2).
  • Use font size, style, and color tools for emphasis.
  1. Creating Structured Content
  • Use tabs or accordions to group related information without overwhelming readers.
  • Alerts for highlighting warnings or important notes.
  1. Working with Code or HTML
  • Use HTML or Insert Code/Inline Code blocks when you need custom formatting or special layout.
  1. Clean-up & Workflow Tools
  • Use Find & Replace to make bulk text changes quickly.
  • Use Remove Formatting to strip undesired styles (often after copying/pasting).

Examples / Use Cases

  • Use case 1: Writing a tutorial article → you might use headings for step structure, images/screenshots for clarity, and accordions for optional deep-dive content.
  • Use case 2: Product specs page → tables for comparisons, linkouts to related articles, and alerts for version warnings.

Key Features of the Markdown Editor

Feature Category What It Does
Text & Typography Use Markdown syntax for headings (#), bold (**bold**), italics (*italic*), strikethrough (~~text~~)
Lists & Indentation - or * for bullet lists, numbers for ordered lists, > for blockquotes
Media & Files ![](url) for images, drag & drop upload via Files Manager
Links & References [link text](url) for links, article references supported via internal URLs
Tables Create using `
Code & HTML Inline code with backticks (`code`), multi-line code blocks with triple backticks (```), insert raw HTML
Formatting Tools Markdown is plain text—clean by editing text directly, no hidden formatting

Best Practices

  • Keep content visually scannable: use headings, bullet lists, and short paragraphs.
  • Use media purposefully—images and videos should support the content, not distract from it.
  • Use alerts and tabs sparingly so readers don’t get overwhelmed.
