Is styling of note fields possible?

Support
1

Hi,

Apologies if this has been asked before. I searched the archives but
couldn't find anything.

I have a rather larger note field that I need to display at the start
of the form. It includes information about the survey, ethics approval
information etc.

Is it possible to style this information? For example including
paragraph breaks, font styles and colours?

If so, how?

If not, are there any alternative options?

With thanks.

Hi Corey,

There is no support for formatting but you can get creative with...

  1. Line breaks.
    This is a line

break

  1. Group listing. Because prompt label text will always be bold, hints
    will always be italics, and read-only answers will always be plain
    text, you can combine those across different prompts and group them.
    Each prompt will be separated with a horizontal line so you can use
    that too.

  2. Images. You can format the text however you like in Word or
    Photoshop, take a screenshot, and use that as an image-based prompt.

Hope that helps,

Yaw
