Format text to show BOLD in HTML Text

[Mo_Islam]

Hi,

I am using a HTML text box to append updates in a sharepoint form and to make it look better need to bold the user name and date before displaying the text.

Below the RichText Box is a HTML.Text box with this code:

If(Not(IsBlank(richTextUpdates.HtmlText)),User().FullName & " " & Now() & " " & richTextUpdates.HtmlText & Char(13))& ThisItem.Updates

Is there a way to within this code to make username and date bold ?

I used this video for append text workaround - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzLEecSpmFo 

Thank you in advance

Like this...

If(Not(IsBlank(richTextUpdates.HtmlText)),"<b>"&User().FullName & " " & Now() & "</b> " & richTextUpdates.HtmlText & Char(13))& ThisItem.Updates

Hi @Mo_Islam ,

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I agree with @mdevaney 's thought almost. I think the <b> HTML Tag could achieve your needs.

Firstly, in order to the render the HTML text, please consider add a Html Text control in your app to display the "Updates" value. The screenshot of my app as below:

Set the HtmlText property of Html Text control to following:

"<b>" & User().FullName & "</b> <b>" & Now() &"</b>" & Char(13) & richTextUpdates.HtmlText

On your side, you need to set the HtmlText property of the Html Text control to following:

If(
   !IsBlank(richTextUpdates.HtmlText),
   "<b>" & User().FullName & "</b>  " & "<b>" & Now() & "</b>" & Char(13) & richTextUpdates.HtmlText & Char(13)
) & ThisItem.Updates

Please consider take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Thank you,

I used this line of code to modify the Default value of my DataCard and it works. The previous line is not necessary for my circumstance (and many others just need this line)

If(
   !IsBlank(richTextUpdates.HtmlText),
   "<b>" & User().FullName & "</b>  " & "<b>" & Now() & "</b>" & Char(13) & richTextUpdates.HtmlText & Char(13)
) & ThisItem.Updates
