Styling Variable Text
May 14, 2013
I'm producing a file with closed captions based on the wonderful example provided by Steve Flowers (http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/14677.aspx), which uses variables for the captioned text. It's wonderful, except I've hit one small snag. In my project, text styling -- like bold and italics -- are important conventions. Is there any way to selectively bold words within a text variable? I tried using HTML markup (<b> and <strong>
, but Storyline displayed the code instead of rendering it.

Hi Sharon, welcome to the community!
It is a pretty cool example...
I just took a look at Steve's story file and on slide 1.2, rectangle 3 he is formatting text within the variable using the same sort of html markers you mention above.
The formatting seems to work in the example he published, but when I preview and/or publish I'm seeing the same thing you describe, the formatting doesn't seem to work. I would suggest posting in the original thread and see if you can get Steve's thoughts on it
Thank you, Brian! It just won't work for me, as HTML5 or a a SWF file. I've continued this on the original thread as suggested.
