You can apply any text formatting in a full-screen as well as use preview and submit changes without living the zen mode.

The full-screen mode works across all Redmine, such as wikis, news, forum, issues, comments, notes, contacts and any other form of a text area. It can display text in default light as well as dark mode, which is great for working at nights or for people with more sensitive eyes.
