How to write to display some colored text

[Thibault_Mazur]

Hi there,

I’m brand new into glide.
I’m working on a form, and in the end, before submitting, I’m showing a recap of the information given.
With some if-then-else column, I also display, in a field component, the missing information.
I’d like to write “missing information” in red to catch attention about it but don’t know how to do it.

I 've tried to return an image, but hte image is too tiny to be read.

I’m thinking about using CSS or HTML as Markdown doesn’t allow to color text but I don’t find out how to do it.
Do I absolutely have to get a billed plan to use CSS style?

Can someone give me a hand to ravel out this issue?

Hope my first post isn’t an useless one already covered somewhere, but I didn’t find anything about this basic issue

Many thanks in advance for any kind of help

Hi @Thibault_Mazur, an easy way to display red text is to use a text component and display as meta text.
Another way is to create a template column, input your HTML and use a rich text component to display it.

For example:

<div style="text-align: center;">
  <span style="font-size: 32px; color: red;">Your Text Here</span>
</div>

Replace “Your Text Here” with your if-then-esle column result.
You can adjust the code as needed.

Hi @Sekayi_Liburd

Many thanks for your help, it does work perfectly

While trying it, I’m also understanding that rich text can display some HTML code, which wasn’t really clear for me when I read about Rich text on glide docs.

The text-align tag doesn’t seem to work very well but I’m pretty sure it is because I’m in a field component.

However, I thank you a lot for your instructive answer and for your time and wish you the greatest possible day !

I’m glad I was able to help!
Maybe some of our CSS experts can help with the alignment within the field component.
