I am using scrollable text component in xml to display the long text. In my text there are questions and answers, I want to display the question in bold format and answer in normal form.
Here is my xml component displaying dummy text

and here I am updating the text in brightscript

I want to bold the question, how can I do this?
Thanks in advance

In the old days you'd need to create separate components to have distinct font styles, but now you should be able to use MultiStyleLabel

https://developer.roku.com/docs/references/scenegraph/label-nodes/multi-style-label.md

oh actually scrollableText doesn't support MultiStyleLabel (yet?) think you'd need to do something a bit more customized to do this.

Has anybody found a complete solution for both scrolling and being able to use MultiStyleLabel?

@joetesta I am wondering if you had any luck on this issue. Thank you.

Hi - as far as I know, this still isn't supported and you'd need to create a custom component to accomplish this.

Thank you for your response. I will have to be creative, I guess!

Best,
