MetricWire supports the ability to add font style to both the question text as well as the choice options.

The question text box includes a built-in font editor with the option to choose between the following:

  • Bold
  • Italic
  • Underline
  • Text Color
  • Small Text
  • Big Text

The styling for the choice text is limited compared to question text box, with the options available being:

  • Bold
  • Underline
  • Italic

Adding the styling options for choice text also requires you to use HTML tags. To apply a style to part of the text, wrap the text with the opening and closing tag for the appropriate style.

  • Bold= <b> </b)
  • Italic= <i> </i>
  • Underline= <u> </u>

For example:

  • <b>Bold</b> = Bold
  • <i>Italic</i> = Italic
  • <u>Underline</u> = Underline



You can apply multiple styles to text by "stacking" the tags. To make some text bold and underline, use both tags. Make sure to close tags in the opposite order that they were opened.

  • <b>bold <u>and underline</u></b> = bold and underline


These styles are also available on sliding scale endpoint labels.


Support for these styles in choices begins in the mobile apps starting with 2.2.3 (iOS) and 2.2.15 (Android). Earlier versions will display a plain text version if styles have been applied.


Any HTML tags beyond the three described here will be filtered out for security reasons
