Multiple coloring on Text and other styles

I am searching here in forum and into manual but I can’t find this information anywhere, so I am not sure if it's supported or not.

So I create this element.

CODE
var textparagraph = new KONtx.element.Text({
	label: 'The color of this –word- is red.',
	styles: {
		color: '#FFFFFF',
		fontSize: KONtx.utility.scale(12),
		}
}).appendTo(this);

So what I want to do. I can’t find how to make whole paragraph to be with white color and the word “-word-” to be red.

Like this:

QUOTE
The color of this –word- is red.

Is this possible? Also how can I set different styles into one text, for example bold, italic etc.?

At last I think that I found one bug, I don’t know if is bug of emulator (my wdk version is 0.9.7.6 and I have installed on Ubuntu 9.10) or bug in OEM TV’s but I report it here to check it.

I can’t set the text align into styles as justify like this

CODE
textAlign: 'justify'

The result of this alignment is the left alignment.

Thanks

  • Not really. You could techincally create a call that slip a Text object based on the colors desired in the text and replaced words with ' ' (spaces).

    There is very limited support for HTMl type functionality.

    Yeah, but with this is works only if I have static content, but in dynamic content this will be problem, I have to calculate every time the spaces that I need for that.

  • Rich text support will be coming in the future, until then there isn't any clean solutions.

  • For bold and italics u can mention the following inside the styles
    fontWeight: 'bold'
    fontStyle: Italics

    U can color different words in a sentance by dividing the words into different "Text" elements.

    This is going to most likely be poorly performing and very brittle / error prone. I would advise you wait for the 2010 TVs which should support rich text to get this behavior.
