:raised_hands: Finally some integrated text options. It makes typewriter modules way more functional.

One word: AWESOME!
More words: Why not markdown? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

When will we be able to use markup? (HTML support for not just forum administrators would be cool too.)

Here’s an interesting use for this: Tweening the size and color to create a text entry animation.

I’m not sure how practical this is since we’re updating a bunch of rich text parameters every frame, but its probably(?) better than creating separate TextLabels for each character.

Here’s an rbxl file of this for those interested, feel free to use it as you wish.

The amount of game-changing features coming out recently gives me a lot of hope for the future of this platform. If the engine and tools can catch up to the rest of the market, Roblox may stick around for years to come. :+1:

This is one of the greatest features that could come to UI (viewports are the number one for me). This will significantly ease the pain of constantly creating new textboxes for different effects

This is a great feature, we’ve been needing a update to text for awhile now and the devs have come through for us.

This is incredible. Multiple fonts in one textlabel? You’ve made my life complete.

PLUS BETTER RENDERING??? How can Roblox get any better?

Great update, definitely a step in the right direction.

Is there any plan for link support? Something like <a> </a> but will fire an event? Is embedded image support also planned?

It would be possible, but not in the initial release around q3 this year. Which means you might not be able to use this until q4 or early next year in production.
