I am using Google forms "Get Pre-filled linked" and fill out some text boxes automatically. Here is an example text-box filled out with with "pre-filled link":
Is there a way to format the text inside the textbox? For example:
- Have new lines in the text box.
- Make some parts of it bold.
An example desired output with new lines (which I have added manually; not sure how make parts of text bold):
Thoughts on how to format text for Google forms?
I was looking for the same functionality and all I can find on the google forums is "it doesn't support that."
My workaround is this: Create the formatted text in a google doc then take a screen grab with the Snippet tool (or SnagIt or whatever your favorite screen grabber is).
Save the image to your drive then add it to the form.
This seems like a ridiculous thing to have to do, but it does work.

I want to create a page where the user is prompted to click on a button. When they click on the button I want a text displayed below it, displaying whatever I choose the text to include. Everywhere I've looked has just told me how to make an input user text button which is not what I'm looking for. I would like the solution using CSS only please.
I haven't tried anything so far. I built the original page to display the text on hover, but it wasn't intuitive when using a touch screen device and I want to avoid text overlays telling the user things like "touch here" when I could just do a better job making the site feel more intuitive to touch device users. Like I mentioned previously I haven't found useful information for what I'm trying to create. Thanks in advance.
I am developing a telegram bot that involves the process of adding a text that the user input to an existing image.
It goes like that:
The user inputs a text like his name, time, etc.
The bot adds a text layer on top of the image. (the image is constant and doesn't change).
The user gets in return from the bot the picture with the added text, in a typical image format like JPG or PNG (doesn't matter).
However I actually have no idea what kind of method or API I should use, I was thinking of something like photoshop API but it seems way too complicated and overkill. I am looking for a simple solution that is easy to learn and apply, as it is just adding a text layer on top of a picture and saving it.
I would be interested to hear how would you apply such a thing, to get ideas on how it could be done.
Thank you very much,
Shay
I've realized that when I try to copy/paste a text from an Angular Application to any text editor software (ie Microsoft Word), all the text loses the original format.
I'm using as example the angular material website: https://material.angular.io/
When I copy the text and past in Microsoft Word:
Thats means, the pasted text lost the center alignment, the color and de font type.
Is there a way to keep the website format? I know that the font used by Angular Material is different from text editor, but there are another things that could be mantained (i.e. alignment, color, etc).
I've started a project using Angular 8 + Angular Material and I'm facing the same problem.
Well, you're not likely to get a straight copy/paste action to do what you're requesting.
Why it doesn't work as you expect:
Copy & Paste out of MS Word for example and you'll get Rich Text where all the formatting is part of the data payload. When you copy this to the clipboard all that extra styling metadata goes along with the text. If you paste that data INTO a rich text editor (not a straight text input) like Wordpress's Admin that editor package translates the text metadata that you can't see into equivalent HTML styling.
However, When you copy from HTML (in your browsers) all you're getting is the text without all the "rich" formatting. This happens because a browser uses outside context like DOM position, tag type, and CSS to style the HTML content into what is presented for you to see.
Rich text copy for just YOU
There are multiple browser plug-ins for Chrome and Firefox that will intercept your copy request, create formatting and then paste that to the clipboard. Just ask Google for recommendations.
Rich text copy for all users of a project
This, unfortunately, is more complicated. You will need to write code to do the following (this answer has a good example):
Figure out what the user is trying to copy (usually mapped to selected text).
Convert that content into rich text format. The example above simply copies the HTML but that won't get styling applied by external CSS. Packages like Quill MIGHT give you the option to get rich text back out.
Copy your converted text to the user's local clipboard. You shouldn't hijack browser commands to do this which is why you frequently see a "copy to clipboard" button to do this action. You can move content to the user's clipboard using the Clipboard API in most modern browsers.
Oh and you'll need the user's permission to do all this since proactively interacting with the user's clipboard presents a pretty massive security issue.
The paragraph field in Google forms shows only single line. I want to capture input spanning several paragraph. So I want to show it as multiple lines with scrollbar to make it look more intuitive.
Is it possible to that some way?
Google Forms doesn't include format settings for paragraph questions.

I've built an ASP.net web application which allows the users to view and make notes on a list of calendar events. The notes are edited in a WYSIWYG editor that outputs to HTML text (but could also output to RTF), which is then saved as text in an MSSQL05 database.
Now I've got to add a printing function to the calendar application. Prior to this version, the printing was done through SSRS05, but now that I've added rich text notes, this method will no longer work.
I can render the whole calendar in a printer-friendly format in the web browser, but my users have two issues with that: first, I can't turn off the header and footer added during the print, and the users are a little too basic to understand how to turn it off themselves; and second, when a note gets too long, the text gets wrapped not-too-gracefully to the next page. Unfortunately, they use IE7, so the page-break-inside attribute isn't recognized, and upgrading to IE8 or using a different browser is out of the question (I already asked :P)
So with that information, what's the best way to generate a report which features rich text?
I suggest DataDynamics ActiveReports. Very powerful, lightyears ahead Crystal. Give it a try!
