Edit Posts Using:
Tumblr's default option for authoring and editing posts is
Rich Text Editor, which allows you to type and format text using a set of but-
tons, but does not allow for advanced HTML/CSS coding. This is the best op-
tion to use if you are unfamiliar with HTML or only need simple text editing
tools such as Bold, Italic, List, and so on. To code your posts in Plain text/
HTML or Markdown instead, however, select the desired option. To learn
more about Markdown, click the tiny question mark link to the right of that
option.
