Description lucasjordan 2007-04-18 16:25:43 UTC

when adding a Static Text component (or other text component)which contains the
text:
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
there seems to be no way to add emphasis to a word. For example, if you wanted
to make the word 'lazy' bold, like in the sentence:
"The quick brown fox jumps over the *lazy* dog"

It seems to me that the ability to add some simple formating to a text item
would greatly enhance usability.
