I've seen in some sample code and other places what appears to be just a bunch of random text, but is rendered as an image.
For example:

...which creates a checkbox.
What I'm wondering is, what is it called when you represent an image as text like this? I ask because I want to look for image editors that will do this for me (or see if my current editor has this type of export) and I don't know what to search for.
It's encrypted in BASE64, you can do it HERE
It's all in the code ;)
This is a Base64 encoded data-URI.

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.
We print pdf provided by the company and merged it with data from our C# ASP.Net 3.5 Web application using iTextSharp. This works well but we have been asked to either print the form with or without the company logo depending on the user preference.
Should I use a pdf with the logo and hide it or use a pdf without the logo and add the logo to it?
I have found numerous way to add a logo to a pdf but nothing on hiding images. Because the logo could be having different size and be in a different location I would prefer to hide it when needed instead of adding it. Can we hide images from pdf without removing it? What would be easier?
Or should we just use 2 versions of each forms, one with the logo and another without?
UPDATE: In a nutshell I just want to have your opinion to what way would be best. Use a form without a logo and add it when needed or use a form with the logo and hide it when needed. Thanks
FINAL UPDATE: Some people gave good answer but I see no way to accept their answer. Can someone help me?
Because no one answered my question I selected one of the comment as "the" answer. Thanks mkl!
You can store data private to your application in PDFs, e.g. logo size and location in the case at hand (cf. this answer on PieceInfo structures). I would, therefore, recommend that you create the PDFs without the logo but store the size and location for a logo in such a PieceInfo dictionary. If adding a logo is required later-on, use that information to properly place the logo
Is it possible that the data of a QRCode could contain an image and text? I am not talking about an image placed on top of the QRCode, but when you scan the QRCode that it would contain the data of an image to display along with some text?
Basically when I scan my QRCode, I would like for it to show my photo name and phone number. I am pretty sure that standard QRCode readers wouldnt be able to read the data so I am sure that I would also need a custom QRCode reader.
Not really. The maximum amount of data you can store in a QR code is ~4KB. That's not really enough for any image files.
Yes, it can be possible by compressing an image to near about 1.5kb and then convert it into BASE64 format by following whatever you text want to place into QR code.However, you might require more than 10mp camera to fetch information from QR Code.This is the example of Qr Code with image and text.
I want to get data from textbox in plain HTML i.e if i write Hello World then it should return
Hello World
. I dont want to use HtmlEditor can i get plain html using textArea?

If you really need the you can always string-replace spaces
You're probably going to need to transform the text manually (with string.Replace() or something similar) to accomplish this. Consider, for example, the "enter" and "space" tags you're looking for. If the user enters this as plain text (such as in a TextArea):
Hello World
Another line
Then that's precisely the value that's in the TextArea. The user didn't enter this:
Hello World<br />Another line
That's an entirely different string value. A WYSIWYG HTML editing control (and there are many for ASP.NET) would do some of the text transforms for you. At least it would probably convert the carriage returns into break tags for you.
But I doubt it would convert every space into a non-breaking space, since that's a very different value than what was entered. You'll likely have to do that yourself. (And be aware that converting all spaces into non-breaking spaces might not render the output like you expect. Look forward to a lot of horizontal scrolling.)
HTML isn't a translation of text into another medium, it's markup that's included in the text. Both of my examples above are perfectly valid HTML. One of them just doesn't include any markup tags.
I would like to display links that are pasted in as links rather than text but freetextbox does not seem to do this. For instance, if somebody pastes in http://www.stackoverflow.com it looks like a link but shows up only as text. Do I need to convert this myself or is there a setting in the editor to take care of this?
It depends. In most cases, you need to convert it yourself. Sometimes when you copy a link you are actually getting a link and not just the text. But yes, you'll have to get your hands dirty here.
