I’ve just implemented the capability for having text bold and/or italic (see image) [http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/641/screenshotlz.png/](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/641/screenshotlz.png/) The mod is in currently in a fork on github, hoping to be noticed and pulled by maintainers. Meanwhile feel free to test it 🙂 ---

I’d probably try to test it, but, uh… you didn’t seem to actually leave any link to it (as far as I can see). ---

I was thinking the same thing lol, thought it was just me. 😛 ---

I managed to track it down! I’ve really been wanting to be able to bold and italic, so I’m excited about this. 🙂 Here’s masacannucapio’s code (you may need a github account): > **[masacannucapio/choicescript](https://github.com/masacannucapio/choicescript)** > > ChoiceScript is a language for developing multiple-choice games. I believe you just need to download these files to replace your old versions: /web/scene.js /web/ui.js And here are full instructions on how to use it: > > > ${var} prints the content of the variable > $!{var} prints the first letter c…apitalized > $b{var} wraps the variable in \ tag > $i{var} wraps the variable in \ tag > > Order and case are not important, and different modifiers can be mixed. > e.g.: $!b{var} will print the variable bolded and capitalized > e.g.: $IB{var} will print the variable italicized and bolded > > To use it for regular text it's enough to create a temp variable and put there the text to be formatted I’m about to test it out. 🙂 It seems likely that it’ll be integrated into the main ChoiceScript download before long. ---

Thank you, I am too far into this project to start using, but most definitely will in the next couple. ---

@statesman88 Thanks for tracking that down for us. I’ll take a look at it soon, although I don’t know how likely I am to use it. I’d like to know whether or not it will work on the other platforms CoG is on first. ---

No problem! I believe it works by applying HTML tags to the text. Would that probably work on other systems? It works great on my Windows laptop, using Firefox.
