Text Formatting

This article or section is a Stub. You can help the Neos Wiki by expanding it.

NeosVR supports a variety of text formatting tags. These tags can be added to text within various Neos Components to provide additional formatting options.

There are two types of tags

• Tags which wrap around the text they affect. These come in pairs with the text you wish to affect in the middle. <tag> opens, and </tag> closes. For example, <b>hello</b> would appear as hello
• Tags which are standalone and signal usually advanced processing. For example <noparse length=12> will not parse the next 12 characters with formatting tags.

With these tags you can produce bold, italic, underlined, and struckthrough text with the b, i, u, and s tags, respectively.

A full list of tags follows:

neos uses TextMeshPro to render text internally, therefor the list of supported tags are simply the ones supported by TextMeshPro. http://digitalnativestudios.com/textmeshpro/docs/rich-text/
