A screenshot of the WordPress editor. I have selected three paragraphs. One is Italic. At the top are symbols. A plus sign implies adding something. Back and forward arrows imply undo and redo. There are block selection and moving controls that I recognise. Then there’s some… err… some rectangles? And a three-line icon that usually means alignment. Then there’s a three dots menu that will be “more” and a button that collapses the controls. On the right is a bar with text and background colour options. And a typography box that lets me choose a size. That has a three dot more menu. Hmm. I wonder.

OK, WordPress. This is just silly now.

I know I'm a top-toolbar guy. And I've looked there.

But how do I make multiple paragraphs italic?

This is basic text formatting. And I can't do it?
