Can I use pictures of keyboard characters in Confluence?

[Julian Milano]

I write a lot of technical documents and one thing I use a lot is "Press the X key" or "Press the Enter key".... and instead of writing this, I'd like to have pictures of the X key on a keyboard or a picture of the Enter key on a keyboard and use those instead. Like this:

Hi @Julian Milano and welcome here.

Just don't :) 

By using images of characters, you will not any value to the readers. It might look fancy but the real value is zero.

Also, it will more difficult to manage/update etc.

Ever image on a page is an attachment.

Highlighting the character with BOLD (or combination of Bold and Italics) will do the exact same job and you will thank yourself in future.

1. Press R.
2. Press Enter.
