Label

A Text and Media Area serves as a spacer on a course page. It can be used to add text, images, or other items in between other resources. Text and Media Areas can help distinguish between and highlight different areas in a course.

Sometimes text will show in an odd format if you have copied and pasted from another source directly into Moodle. If the formatting of your text looks "off" or you can't adjust it in the way you wish, you can try clearing the formatting using this tutorial. 

Step 1	Click the edit pencil icon below whatever item it is that requires editing.  On the resulting screen, highlight the text that isn't displaying as hoped.
Step 2	Click the Format option in the text editor and select clear formatting.
Step 3	The text will now have some of the formatting removed. If you find this does not solve your issue, you can try using the HTML editor if you are familiar with HTML. To do so, continue to Step 4.
Step 4	HTML is a coding language. If you are unfamiliar with HTML, we do not recommend you continue. Instead, you can call E-Learning (339.4400) for a specific issue to see if we can assist. If you are familiar with HTML, you can remove the tags that are creating the problem. In this case, if I don't want there to be a heading, I can remove the <h3> and </h3> tags. I may also wish to remove the list, so I should remove the <ul>,</ul>, and <li> and </li> tags. Finally, if you see a tag that's in a red font, that means it's incomplete and should be removed. Make sure to save any changes you make.
Step 5	Click the html edit icon to return to the WYSWIG ("What you see is what you get") editor. If you like what you see, click Save.
