Is there a way to make parts of the description of the String Input node in bold? I tried using the normal Java way of \033[1m but it just reads it as plain text.
Ah thanks, that helps a lot.
Edit:
Unfortunately it doesn't work. See attached screenshot.
Just realised that editing my previous post does not notify anyone, so a bump here ;)
You have to place the <html> at the beginning of the description and </html> at the end.
Then you can make something bold by placing it between <b> and </b>.
You can also use other tags like <u></u> to style your description.
We might be talking about different locations.
I am talking about the String input (See attached).
Where do you enter your text?
Looks more or less the same
Which KNIME Analytics Platform version are you using?
I verified it with 2.12.2 and 3.1.1 on two PCs.
Can you please have a look at the attached workflow and compare it to your configuration?
If this yields no result, can you provide a workflow containing the quickform node with the broken formatting?
Thank you,
Ferry
This workflow produces the same result for me. I put my MetaNode in an empty workflow and attached it.

There is the misunderstanding. I thought you were talking about the node dialog. There you can use html, but as I was told you shouldn't, as it might break the web-portal view.
The option paragraphs in the Node Description view are not stylable at the moment. Sorry.
There are many things happening with the Quickforms right now, so there might be the possibility to style them in the future, but I can't promise anything. This description is used in the dialog (interpreted by java swt), in the node description (plain text) and in the web portal (html). Therefore it's difficult to solve that and a workaround is likely to break one of the other views.
Sorry for this confusion.
Best,
Ferry
Hello Luuklag,
yes, use HTML.
<html> Description with <b>something</b> highlighted</html>
Edit: No, not at the moment. HTML works for the dialog, but not the node description and probably breaks the web portal.
Best,
Ferry
Ah that is indeed quiet tricky. Perhaps you can let it be styled in HTML, and change the node description to also interpret html. For the dialog you would then need some form of translation between html and java.
