Rich Text Formatting

David Adkin (Adalo)

This would give you the ability to bold, italicize, underline, and add ordered & bulleted lists to any text element. (Note there might be more abilities here like strikethrough and such but we won't know until we get into the planning for this.)

Okay

Davide Soncin

Basic things for formatting a text are missing in all the elements made available. For example, in the input fields it is not possible to define the alignment--it is absurd!

Davide Soncin: 100% agreed. It’s annoying that we can’t have clickable links in the rich text editor or pictures! Also why in read-only mode is there no option for it to auto expand if we want. I feel like a lot of these components are not built to the adalo standards. They say it’s suppose to be customizable and a list of things and lots of these components lack customizable options. That’s why I will NOT pay another dollar until I see changes. The configurable section (https://developers.adalo.com/component-standards/philosophy) is 100% not followed. Check it out and I encourage others to check it out and speak up.

Any updates or any workaround?

Devin Rossey

Images too.

Hi, any update on this? The markdown component Adalo often points us to is quite buggy, it has a set standard text size that is too small and in native apps it appears to make all components below it hidden.

I'd love the ability to let my users use a rich text field in my app. Is there any progress on this feature?

Alternatively, is there a customer component now available in the marketplace?

Todd Pilmer

Proper styling is vital to communicating effectively with customers. Being able to italicize just a few specific words within one text box would be smart. (free & paid versions) plus, bonus for allowing the user to copy and paste text from the web app (not just native)

Merged in a post:

UPPERCASE text

Darragh

Checkbox to make all text in a text component UPPERCASE – useful when text is mixed case in the database but using magic text in titles etc.

It would be greatly appreciated if this feature would be added to the components list...;-)

Ya this is very needed, at least just making paragraphs.
