In addition to the old buttons for Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Numbered, and Bullet Lists, you now have buttons for:

2. Selecting a piece of text and making that a link: Kerika will fetch the title of the referenced URL, and display that when you leave Edit mode.

5. Setting a style for the selected text; here are your options:
