Google Wave and Rich Text

I finally got an account for the Google Wave sandbox account. Am still adjusting myself to the UI, and so don’t have a whole lot to say, except … it’s a rather large frustration to me to see Google reverting to the 1980s with its rich text widget. Yes, they have structured lists. That’s good. But, they have nothing approximating styles support. If you want to denote a section heading, you have to bold the damned text!

Come on Google, you can do better than this. Drop the damned font-family support and add at least basic support for headings (and farther out options for custom styles)!

  1. It’s not much, but Google Wave has support for headings (H1-H4).

    Oh, that IS a good start; wouldn’t have bothered with the post if I’d seen that. But I didn’t see it, b/c it’s behind the exceedingly misleadingly named “paragraph size” icon.

    Odd too that the automatic title style is rendered much smaller than h1.
