Disp(...) - How to do only ONE word in bold/underlined letters

Hi,

I want to Display a text which shall look for Example like this:

Hello World!

How to do that? I know it is possible to put a whole text in bold, but is it possible also to put just one word of the sentence in bold?

Thanks

[Jan]

But you did display this text already, even in my internet browser.

Please explain, where you want to display this text. In a button, an edit field created by GUIDE, a text field in AppDesigner, in a figure, as title of an axes, as XTick label, in the command window? This detail is important.

Thanks, but I have the version:

R2018b (9.5.0.44444)

cprintf does not exist there. Is there an alternative?

[Jan]

@Marcel: Walter gave you the link, where you can download cprintf . There is no other solution.

[Marcel Langner]

Ah ok, I can download it. Thanks :-)

[Walter Roberson]

cprintf() is magic ;-)

[Marcel Langner]

Yes, the only problem is that when i want to send someone my code he or she cant run it unless they install also cprintf. So the solution is not entirely satisfying :-/ But thanks for your help

Bold cannot be done without magic.

Glancing at the current version of the code I am not sure bold is even supported at the moment.

What can be done without magic is underlining, such as

fprintf('Will you say <a href="">hello</a>\n')

which will output the hello underlined.

Also without magic you can emit red, with slightly more work:

fprintf('Will you say '); fprintf(2, 'hello\n')

The extra work here is that you need to fprintf() to unit 2 only for the text that is to be red.

[Marcel Langner]

This is just perfect, thanks :-)

why don't you use <strong> </strong> pair?

disp('Hello, <strong>World</strong>!');

[Walter Roberson]

Good catch.

Is there a way this could work for a number? (with "num2str")?

[Walter Roberson]

fprintf('Hello, <strong>World #%d</strong>!', randi(99))

Hello, World #58!
