YayText bold and italic text generator
If you want to change an individual word in a text component to bold or italics locally then you can use <b> </b> and <i> </i>html tags in a textbox component. However, the bold doesn’t work very well.
Ironically these don’t work online. There is, however, an alternative to turning your text into an image. YayText is an online tool where you can create bold and italic versions of individual words using unicode. The site also has other options, but these seem the most useful. The unicode versions of the words don’t work locally but can be inserted into text or textbox components online directly, or via a spreadsheet variable.
