How to Edit Text Font on Craigslist
Craigslist is an online community used to buy and sell just about anything. To make your post stand out from the rest, you may consider changing the default font. If you’re used to word processing software and unfamiliar with HTML, it may seem like there is no easy way to make the font bigger, smaller, bold or italic. Fortunately, you can use the HTML tags to change the font.
