Y'know how in the character builder, when you click a race it shows the short description of that race, and then below that it lists off a condensed version of the race's traits? For example, elves:
Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what font or header or whatever that "Racial Traits" and the line below it is. I can tell it's a different font than the normal text, but I can't figure it out. What I did above was just use the Paragraph text, bolded Racial Traits, and then used shift+enter to get the line below it. If someone knows how D&DBeyond actually formats it, please let me know, thanks!
(Also, please let me know if I'm just crazy and I just did it correctly and my eyes are playing tricks on me)
If you mean the options like Undo, Paste, Font Family, Font Sizes, Text Color, Insert/edit link, Insert a code block, yes. I've been fiddling around with them but I can't figure which one I should be using.
They just did the bold and shift+enter like you did for that. To make the line underneath there, look for the button with the little line on it, like this:
It’s right between the numbered bullets and the eraser looking thing.

Maybe I am crazy, I could swear the font looks thinner in that line than it does elsewhere. Also, I thought the Racial Trait had to have been formatted in one of the headers, because that horizontal line looks too thick.
Whatever, if it looks close enough I'll take it. Thanks!
Looking at the HTML, it does have a custom class and styling applied which you should be able to mimic. Easiest way to do-so is to copy/paste from another race, this usually preserves the custom formatting.
But if you're interested in how it works, use the source button (looks like </>), the HTML looks like:
<p>Sequestered in high mountains atop tall trees, the aarakocra, sometimes called birdfolk, evoke fear and wonder.</p>
<p class="characters-statblock" style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;"><strong>Racial Traits</strong><br>+2 Dexterity, +1 Wisdom, Flight, Talons</p>
Also, thanks for making me notice that I didn't add this summary to my own races which I've already published. 😝

I did try and copy/paste, but for some reason it didn't keep the font. Thanks so much!
