Customizing Display Text

Users

Hi,

Can we customize the display text so that we can show different parts of
the display text in different colors? If yes, how do we do it?

Eg:

During the ASHA's visits to your home after (NAME) was born, can you recall
what sorts of topics ASHA counseled you on?

ASK: What else?

DO NOT READ RESPONSES. RECORD ALL THAT ARE MENTIONED

Thanks,
Jeffrey

Jeff,

Unfortunately, colored text isn't something we can support in form markup
at this time.

Thanks Clayton. Are there any other forms of formatting allowed (like:
Italics/bold/etc)?

Regards,
Jeffrey

Hi, Jeffrey- I will let Clayton answer your specific question, but if you
are working on an ODK application, you can use "hint" text to set some of
your text apart. See an example here:
