RICH EDITOR GUIDE

Urdu Rich Text Editor formatting guide

Write the Urdu first, then refine presentation with fonts, colour, emphasis, size and alignment. The rich editor keeps formatting controls close without changing the underlying Urdu text.

QUICK ANSWER

How do you format Urdu text online?

Open the Urdu Rich Text Editor, type or paste your Urdu, select the text you want to change, and use the toolbar for font family, size, colour, highlight, alignment and emphasis. Preview the finished document before exporting it.

STYLE

Use colour and emphasis to create hierarchy

Formatting should make Urdu easier to scan, not compete with the writing itself. Start with a clear text hierarchy and add visual emphasis only where it helps.

Change the text colour

Colour can distinguish headings, quotations or important terms.

Select the Urdu words you want to change.
Open the Text colour control.
Choose a colour and check the contrast at normal reading size.

Highlight selected text

A background highlight works well for reminders or one important sentence.

Select the text.
Open the background-colour control.
Choose a subtle highlight or reset it when you no longer need emphasis.

EMPHASIS

Bold, italic, underline and strikethrough

Select text and choose the appropriate toolbar action. Bold is the strongest general emphasis; italic and underline are better used selectively, while strikethrough is useful when something should remain visible but marked as removed.

TYPOGRAPHY

Choose an Urdu font for the kind of document you are making

Nastaliq provides the traditional flowing Urdu style, while Naskh is often clearer in compact interfaces, tables and smaller text.

Nastaliq

اردو خوبصورت انداز میں لکھیں

Traditional, expressive, ideal for Urdu-first reading.

Naskh

اردو واضح انداز میں لکھیں

Compact and clear for smaller text and structured layouts.

Change the font family

Select the Urdu text.
Open the font-family menu.
Choose a typeface and review it at the intended final size.

READABILITY

Adjust size and alignment for the final reading context

Change the font size

Use larger sizes for headings and smaller sizes for supporting text, while keeping Nastaliq line spacing generous enough for its vertical forms.

Select the text.
Open the font-size menu.
Choose a size and review the line spacing around it.

Align Urdu intentionally

Right alignment is the natural default for Urdu paragraphs. Centre alignment can work for short quotes or headings, while left alignment is generally best reserved for English or mixed-direction content.

MOBILE

Formatting controls adapt to smaller screens

The editor keeps the document as the primary surface on mobile. Use the toolbar in short bursts, then return to the writing area to review the complete paragraph.
