Notebook Formatting & Styling

Wolfram Language notebooks include all the usual features of a top-quality word-processing system, plus many additional special capabilities. In all, there are over a thousand formatting and styling options, all accessible both from menus and at a programmatic level. Wolfram Language notebooks have an underlying symbolic structure that allows full markup, cascading stylesheets, and the ability to immediately restyle a document. Notebooks can be optimized not only for interactive use, but also for export to web and print media.

Format ▶ — main menu for formatting

Cell Styling »

Format ▶ Style — pick a style for a cell, using the current stylesheet

— pick a cell style (1: title, 2: subtitle, 4: section, 7: text, 9: input, ...)

— create a new cell of the same style

Text Styling »

(Bold)  ▪  (Italic)  ▪  (Larger)  ▪  (Smaller)  ▪  ...

Math Typesetting »

()  ▪  ()  ▪  ()  ▪  a (α)  ▪  ...

— convert to traditional form

, — start, end inline math within text

Graphics Styling »

Drag — resize a graphic that appears anywhere

New Canvas — insert an empty Canvas

Convert To/From Canvas — add a canvas to a cell or flatten an existing canvas into the cell contents

Stylesheets & Customization »

New ▶ Styled Notebook — create a notebook of a particular style

Format ▶ Stylesheet — pick a stylesheet for a notebook
