UI Text, using html code (bold, color, italic)

🌵 Needle Engine
1

In Unity, I can control the text rendering with some html code. Is this somehow possible in needle as well?

The Text element should work with rich text if you have the font assets in your project and they can be found e.g. by name ``-Regular, -Italicand-Bold`

Doesn’t work for me in build, only in the Unity Editor. Tried with OpenSans as well, same result

Setting the Font Style to italic and using the regular font, it correctly exports both italic and regular, but not the bold.

But everything is shown italic in the build (fixed the rich text typo)

Okay, updating needle exporter to 3.1.0-alpha.2 worked for me. Let’s hope it breaks nothing else :smile:
