Changing Styles of Label Text

You can change the style of text strings that are stored in the Caption property of a control and the Display Name property of list columns by embedding HTML tags in the property values.

For example, a Caption property with the value of <font color="red" size=+2><b>Account Name</b></font> would be rendered at run time with changes that reflect the HTML tags.

You cannot use HTML tags in string-based properties, such as List Columns, that are interpreted as literal values by SWE when rendered in high interactivity mode.

There are restrictions to what HTML tags you can use.

• HTML tags that control text style, such as size, color, italics, and bold, are supported.
• Other HTML tags, such as those that control alignment or position, are not supported.

NOTE:  To modify text strings by adding HTML tags, you must either create a new symbolic string that includes the HTML tags or enter the values in a string-override field. To be able create symbolic strings or string override fields, you must have the EnableToolsConstrain parameter of the tools.cfg file set to FALSE. For more information about working with symbolic strings, see Using Siebel Tools.
