The default color is red, to change the color either replace "red" in the markup with one of the other 16 web colors. W3C has listed 16 color names that will validate with any HTML validator. The color names are: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow. There are 150 cross browser color names you can use in addition.
You can otherwise type in a hexadecimal color value, as shown in the second line of markup.
Apply heading level
To apply header styling to a line of text, select the line and click on the appropriate heading level icon
h1. This line is H1 heading
h2. This line is H2 heading
h3. This line is H3 heading
Preview
For a heading style to be applied there must be a blank line both above and below the line you're styling. If the preview looks like this:
h1. This line is H1heading then you probably don't have the necessary blank lines.

To create a bulleted list, select the rows that will comprise the list and click on the toolbar icon
* list item one
* list item two
* list item three
Preview
Create numbered list
To create a numbered list, select the rows that will comprise the list and click on the toolbar icon
# list item one
# list item two
# list item three
Preview
Right indent text
To right indent text, select the text to be indented and click on the toolbar icon as many times as you want the text to be indented (each click adds a level of indentation rightwards)
p(. right indent once
p((. right indent twice
p(((. right indent three times
Preview
For right indenting to be applied there must be a blank line both above and below the lines you're styling. If the preview looks like this:
p(. right indent onceheading then you probably don't have the necessary blank lines.
Left indent text (Outdent)
To left indent (outdent) text, select the text to be indented and click on the toolbar icon as many times as you want the text to be outdented (each click removes a level of right indentation)
p. a fully outdented line
Preview
Left indenting has no effect except to remove a level of right indentation. Once there are no levels of right indentation remaining, the text will just remain left justified.
Inline images
To show images inline, attach the image to the card or wiki page and use the following markup:
!imagename!
Preview
If the image is attached to another card or page in Mingle you can use the following markup: !#card number/imagename! e.g. !#1/Picture_1.png! or !page name/imagename! e.g. !QA Central/Picture_1.png! to display them.
Inline links
To show links inline, use the following markup:
"name":url
Preview
If you want to link to an attachment on the card or wiki page in Mingle you can use the following markup: [[#card number/filename] e.g. [[#1/Mingle.txt]] or [[page name/filename]] e.g. [[QA Central/Mingle.txt]]
