Formatting inside chat frame

[lousilver]

I can manually edit the db.xml file to place multiple paragraphs within a chat frame (using &#13), but is there a way to do simple formatting, such as italics? I could only find a post from 2013 saying it's not possible. I've tried <i></i> inside the chat frame, but that doesn't work.

The text within the chat frame is displayed using a string control, not a formatted text control. Therefore, formatting is not available. You can change the font of the text being displayed with an extension/FG code, but that is for the whole chunk of text. See the Message Data Structure in the FG Comm package for details of what can be changed for each chat message: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassia...996644567/Comm

You can add paragraphs inside a chat frame by positioning your cursor where you want the break to be by holding down the SHIFT key and pressing return (twice if necessary).
