What options do I have to format text

Hi,

there are certain possibilities I have to format text if I do not have any setting possibilities - like the <b> tag making the text bold.

Can someone please give me a quick overview - or just point me somewhere where I can find one - over all the possibilities I have in that respect?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

'<b>' => bold

'<i>' => italic

'<u>' => underline

'<i>''<u>' => italic AND underline

Hi,

it's been a while now, but here I am again: How can I insert these tags when I have a command like the following:

= 'Words'

& chr(10 &

[formula]

I tried different variations already, but the tag is then either included as literal text or the whole thing does not work at all.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

You are missing a parentheses for CHAR (10) maybe thst will make a difference

Hi Alan,

no, that was just an ad-hoc example to show you what I want to do - in the actual application, I have all the parentheses all right.

Thanks for helping anyway!

I am sorry. You can't not insert different format in one text object for example. What a pity

Hi Vivien,

you mean that construct of mine is regarded as different (differently formatted) parts, so I cannot apply the <u> to the text-part while not applying it (I can't) to the formula-part?

That's not nice - but okay. I guess some things are just not possible.

Thanks a lot!

Ya. That is correct. You will need to create different text object.

But we can all change the world... or at least QlikView ahahah...

You can vote to show to QlikTech your interest (like I do) for this function.
