html tags not working in variables
I've been trying to add text formatting to variables as described in https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-3-Using-HTML-Formatting-Tags-in-Text-Variables, but it's not working. Is there a setting I need to adjust? Or has this feature been deprecated? It works in the sample download file, but even if I copy and paste the formatted text from the sample download into my file, the text shows up as <b>Storyline 360</b>, not Storyline 360.
This has been confirmed to work in my project (Storyline v.3.87.32265.0)
Yes, the sample document works on my computer, but when I try to implement the concept in my own project, it doesn't work. I've attached a shorter version of my project. What am I doing wrong?
Another issue is that in the Answers layer, in Preview mode, all of the text is showing as bold instead of just the heading "Activity:"
This won't function with built-in text variables. The text initially visible in the text entry field is the placeholder value, not the actual value of the text entry field itself. Unfortunately, we can't style the placeholder attribute in the text entry field. In my example, as well as the one you found online, a custom text variable was utilized instead. I wasn't aware that you were attempting to customize the text entry field placeholder.
Okay, thanks.
