Rich text fields allow you to add stylings, such as font type and font size, however, they don’t work with Word’s auto-numbering.
You have to use a Multiline Text field in those cases and fortunately, you can still add formatting to the text using simple HTML tags.
Let’s start with the basics of HTML:
Tags are used to mark up the start of an HTML element and they are usually enclosed in angle brackets: “< >”
Tags must be open with “< >” and closed “</ >”, and you place your text in between those tags.
For instance:
<b>
Hello World</b>
displays as Hello World
<i>
Hello World</i>
displays as Hello World
Supported HTML styling elements in Advanced Document Automation:
<b>
Bold
<i>
Italic
<u>
Underlined Text
<pb>
Page Break
equal to a Space
<br>
equal to a Break
<ul>
and <li>
Bullet Point List
<ul>
starts an unordered list (not using sequential numbers or letters), and <li>
for each bullet
point or list item)
<h1>
inserts Heading1 Styles formatting
<h2>
inserts Heading 2 Style formatting
<h3>
inserts Heading 2 Style formatting
<h4>
inserts Heading 2 Style formatting
