LiveCode Forums.

Sorry fo to many doubt about using Revtalk but has been two weeks learning the basic, but i was unable to find an answer for this:
i want to know if it is possible change the text style when we use answer command? for example i want to show to the user:
answer "Hello" && field "fname" && "the right answer is..." && tresult
where field "fname" is the name of the user who has been login at the beginning
tresult is the temporary variable that i used to keep some data.

So how can i change the text style of "fname" in the answer dialog? i would like to put emphasis in the "fname"

thanks so much

You can specify html tags in your prompt string to accentuate the parts you want.

From the dictionary

Comments:
The prompt can be either formatted text (in the htmlText property's format) or plain text. If the prompt contains <p> or a start/end tag pair, the answer command assumes the text is in the same format as the htmlText property. Otherwise, the answer command assumes the text is plain text.

So
Will show an answer dialog with This is Bold This is Italic

Sturgis, thanks i am tried but it works fine with text not for field inside de answer, i put like this answer "hello" && "<b> field "fname" </b>" and i got an error i tried several form and just instead put the user name it put like a text field fname in bold. Where is my mistake?

thanks again
greg

The tags have to be within quotes.

answer "some text here <b>" && field "the field" && "</b>"

Sturgis you are the man, now is working i just put like this
answer "Hola" && "<b>" && field "fNombre2" && "</b>" && "el resultado es...." && tResult titled "Y la respuesta es........"

i now i will play around with other text style, i am not a contributor now in this forum but give another couple months and you wil see,


thanks a lot
greetings
Greg

wow now i am available to change size, color, font, etc using structure as html.
thanks Sturgis

Glad to help.

Hi,

Just to be on the safe side, you might want to start your answer text with <p> and finish it with </p> to make sure that the scripts in the answer dialog recognise your text as html code.

Best,

Mark

Thanks Mark i will do it.
