Making an "answer" text bigger

[AgentItay]

Hello, I have a school project which requires me to make a game, I decided to do it with livecode, but thing is, from the projector the "answer" text is barely visible, I tried to use the <font> html tag but it gives me an error for some reason.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Since everything is a stack in LC, including the answer dialog, you sure can. Try this, and get familiar with HTML tags.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   answer "<p><font size='40' >Are you sure?</font></p>"
end mouseUp

When reporting an error to the readers here it's always helpful to note what the error was.

As Craig noted, htmlText can be used but only when provided in a fully valid form, that is beginning with "<p>" and ending with "</p>". In between you have the full capabilities of LiveCode's fields available to you - see the Dictionary entry for the htmlText property for details.
