Inline text editing

Inline text editing

This document explains inline text editing, allowing you to style specific parts of your text, such as labels and checkboxes, for emphasis or readability. The text remains inline, and multiple formatting options can be applied together for a unique look.

With inline text formatting options, you have the flexibility to style specific parts of your text uniquely, allowing you to emphasize key points, highlight important details, or differentiate for better readability and impact.

Supported elements include:

  • Text
  • Label
  • Checkbox label
  • Radio label

Style inline text

To style specific parts of your text differently from the rest, double-click on the element or enter its scope through the Edit button on the Toolbar. Once selected, highlight the part you’d like to edit, and the toolbar actions will automatically appear above the text, offering various editing options.

As you make changes, the text stays inline with the rest of your text. Additionally, you can apply multiple of these formatting options to the same text for a more customized look.

Editing options

  • Bold: Enhance the selected text by making it bold.
  • Italic: Apply italic styling to the chosen text.
  • Link: To add a link, select the text you want to turn into a link. This will make it an inline link. Then use the popup window to adjust the link settings as needed.
  • Create span: To style more precisely, you can create a span around the selected text, this lets you apply unique styling. For example, if you want to add a highlight, wrap the text in a span and use the style tab to adjust its settings. You can even edit its element class, allowing you to reuse the same styles across other spans.
  • Dynamic data: Insert dynamic content that updates automatically. You can choose a data source from the popup window.
  • Remove format: Use this option to remove any formatting from your text.
