Can we bold certain sections of the script.

Territorial Owl

I would like to be able to bold certain sections of the script. For example being able to bold questions would make reading through the script much easier and more readable while out canvassing in person.

Leaving a comment that a workaround like that in yaytext is tedious and time consuming - especially if we have to then be careful to not style in specific ways. Makes the experience of deploying readable scripts more tedious, potentially risky, and mentally burdensome for folks trying to deploy quickly

Some workarounds here - 
You CAN copy/paste italic and bold text into a script from a Unicode text creator such as - https://yaytext.com/
It will work in scripts & in questions.
We do not recommend any of the weirder fonts 𝓁𝒾𝓀ℯ 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 ℴ𝓃ℯ, as they will not be searchable in your question bank without using that exact font; italic and bold will be searchable.
We also don't recommend Unicode in responses logged by canvassers for the same reason.

Styling Scripts

Novel Toucan

Allow for styling within scripts. For example, allow admins to use bold, italics, and control justification. This will aid in improving the accessibility of the script on the user side, so canvassers can more easily distinguish between sections of the script and see key information.

Additionally, it would be great to select the font size for scripts, as some people find small fonts hard to read and would prefer larger text.

So add a standard text editor in the creation screen?

Territorial Owl

Rural Gazelle yes please. Otherwise the script will run together and I believe being able to bold the questions and certain sentences could make it easier to read.
