Insert images in line in text

Hi there, Natasha.  Image files can be added only where media is supported in Rise. 

For your text elements, you can try searching the unicode for a character that matches what you need.  As an example, I searched for "magnifying" here:

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm?q=magnifying&preview=entity

...and I was able to insert a common magnifying glass "search" icon into my Rise text:

If you need to use specific imagery from a process you're teaching your learners, try a few labeled graphic blocks!

Thanks for the feedback. We're all thrilled with the labeled graphic block. And good suggestion about unicode characters.  However, that won't work with nonstandard icons. 

Please file an enhancement request for the Insert Image icon so we can refer to icons inline, as in this example.

Thanks.

Hi Natasha,

On a Windows machine, you can use the Alt +1F50D to enter that character. On a Mac you'd have the option to use the emoji keyboard by pressing CTRL +CMD+ Space and you'll see a new pop up.

I also was able to copy that Character from the unicode page and paste it into a section of Rise text. 

Thank you. I am still unable to enter the character, apparently because I don't have a numeric keypad on my keyboard (http://www.fileformat.info/tip/microsoft/enter_unicode.htm). But I am able to copy the character.

The challenge is figuring out the name of the unicode character and/or hunting through the images for the one you want. Any suggestions there?

Also I'm wondering if you know if we can insert Fontawesome characters into Rise? And if so, how because I'm not aware of any way of editing the CSS.

Hi Natasha, 

I'm not familiar with the Fontawesome characters, but if it's a standard font type you can add custom fonts to Rise. 

As for searching the Unicode list, or determining the name of an icon, I haven't figured out a quick way to do that. Perhaps someone in the ELH community has some advice on that? 

Ashley, Fontawesome is a font type indeed, but with thousands of diferent icons in addition to standard letters and numbers. In Rise you cannot apply a font to an specific character or word, so it doesn't allow for the common use of Fontawesome. It would be great (it's common in wordpress themes, for example) if your inline html editor could add support to apply a font type to an specific selection (letter or word) of a common text paragraph. As Fontawesome icons are letters, you can apply whatever color or font size to customice the final look.

Thanks for that added info, Victor! I wasn't familiar with Fontawesome, but sounds like a neat tool. Rise currently allows you to select one font for your headers and one for the text body, so I can understand how using this font won't work. I’ll be happy to pass your thoughts on to our product team, but you can also feel free to detail them more through a feature request!

Hi -

Has there been any movement on this? I would love to be able to insert icons/images within text

This is quite important, has this been put in as a change request?
