Watail is not showing features for RichTextField in wagtail admin page edit form

Question:

wagtail RichTextField is not showing the features I gave (bold, italic, etc..) on the wagtail admin page edit. How can I add that? am I missing something? I also tried with

admin.FieldPnale("banner_subtitle")

which also did not work for me.

HomePage

class HomePage(Page):
    template = "home/home_page.html"

    banner_title = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False, null=True)
    max_count = 1
    banner_subtitle = RichTextField(features=['bold', 'italic'])
    banner_image = models.ForeignKey(
        to="wagtailimages.Image",
        null=True,
        blank=False,
        on_delete=models.SET_NULL,
        related_name="+"
    )
    banner_cta = models.ForeignKey(
        to="wagtailcore.Page",
        null=True,
        blank=True,
        on_delete=models.SET_NULL,
        related_name="+"

    )
    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        FieldPanel("banner_title"),
        FieldPanel("banner_subtitle"),
        ImageChooserPanel("banner_image"),
        PageChooserPanel("banner_cta"),
    ]

pip freeze output

Answers:

The / shortcut is only used for inserting block-level elements such as images. To insert bold or italic text, select some existing text and choose bold or italic from the toolbar, or use the Ctrl+B or Ctrl+I keyboard shortcut.
