Hey, I was wondering if anyone could let me know if there was a css code to make my text bold, in italics and underlined. Apart from that I wanted to see if it was possible to have some of my text highlighted in different colors. I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you

How are you displaying the text? You can already do that in a Rich Text component with a little Markdown and/or HTML.

You can use a template column to write HTML/markdown code and your column data replacement variables, for example:

```auto
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">COLUMN</span>

```

> Display dynamic text that can change with the values in other columns.
