Changing colour of specific text in builder

Builder
1

In order to make the instructions as clear as possible for my participants I’d like to change the colour in certain sections.
The instructions look something like this:
If the fixation cross is black (+) …
If the fixation cross is green (+) …
If the fixation cross is red (+) …

I would like to change the instructions so the colour and (+) specified in the text are the correct colour dependent on the instructions given.

I can see from other topics that this would need to be done in coder, but I’m struggling to see how I’d specify the specific ‘+’ I am referring to in particular.

We can’t currently mix text of different formatting within a text stimulus. So if you want the plus symbol to be a different colour, it needs to be in its own text stimulus.

Both the instruction text content and the symbol colour can be specified in a conditions file, though, so you should ideally be able to do this with just one instructions routine.

Is there any likelihood that this will be addressed/improved in a future version of PsychoPy? Having even a “RichText” text component (or option in the current text component) would be a major boon.
