I've been searching for the last two hours but haven't been able to find an answer to my question.
In MS Word, how do I apply a style to text based on the tab stop it's in?
For example, in the following text how would I search by style and change the formatting to bold for the word 'there'?
Hello<TAB>there<TAB>world!
What I want to do is inject tabbed (ASCII 9) text into a styled section that in the instance above would bold the word 'there'.
I suppose formatting and searching for text based on the tab stop it’s in are two separate tasks…
Is this even possible? I’m constrained by the templating solution I’m working with.

I am trying to build a small GTK 4 app where the user inputs some data, the program does some computations, and it outputs results in a tabular format.
Currently, I have implemented this using a GtkGrid with Label objects showing the results. This works, but a major downside is that the text is not selectable by the user.
Is there a standard Gtk interface for outputting static, selectable text or tables? For example, in the Firefox (whose Linux version is based on GTK) settings page, you can use the cursor to select all the explanatory text.
Searching for "text" in the GTK documentation brings me to the Text Widget Overview page, which is all about multiline text editing. But I don't want my output to be editable—I just want the user to be able to highlight the text and paste it somewhere else if they want.
GtkLabel has a "selectable" property which does just that. It's also mentioned in a separate section of the GtkLabel docs
I am planning to create a rich text editor in Flutter for a personal application. I know there are already some options like zefyr. However, it is still in dev preview and I want to build something a bit different.
The features of the text editor will be that users can add images, bolden text, add lists, italicize text, etc. Just basic text editor things.
Where I am having issues is in the text input side of things. The flutter default text input only allows one style of text per text field. So that would pose a great challenge when it comes to inline styling. Also, a text field cannot have an image inside it, so that is another problem.
If anyone has any ideas on how to go about this, it will be great for a start.
So, I am really asking for the approach to create the editor because it is not as simple as creating one in html
Say I had text that the user was inputting into a big text box. I also want my app to be testing if any of the text inputted is in an array, and if it finds them then style these differently (For example highlight them wit ha yellow background). So if the phrases I was looking for were 'cake is great', 'people are awful' and 'scooters are the best', and the user wrote 'I really love my cake, cake is great' is it possible for flutter to see this text, and add a text style purely to the last part of the sentence, or otherwise style it differently?
How would I go about doing this?
Using substrings should do the trick, if anything else is trying to do something similar look here!

I am creating a Libreoffice Impress (powerpoint) set of slides and the one thing I can't figure out is notes formatting. The core issue is that I can format the notes, but when I start the slideshow, all of the formatting is removed and I end up with a difficult to read text blob wherein only newlines are preserved.
Is there any way to carry over the notes formatting into the notes display mode during a slideshow? I've searched for an answer to this and have found nothing so I feel like I'm missing something really simple.
If you're notes are unreadable because line spacing does not carry forward you may want to add spaces between the notes that you want separated, this should make them easier to read.
Notes formatting is useful for printing or exporting as PDF. During the presentation, formatting is not shown. However the font size can be adjusted by using the zoom controls. According to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/8/86/IG4208-SlidesNotesHandouts.pdf:
Notes provide a convenient way to create reminders or add extra
information to slides in a presentation. Notes are not displayed
during a slide show. However, using dual displays, you can display any
notes on the second display as a presentation cue. You can also print
the notes and use them as handouts.
If the notes are unreadable without formatting, then perhaps it would help to enter more newlines. If you have so many notes for one slide that they become a "difficult to read text blob", then maybe you need to simplify the notes.

I have a list that I want to display some text as bold and other parts not bold. First of all I have been accomplishing this when not inside of a list by just making a bunch of labels and then manually going through the text adding \n and spaces for formatting, which takes forever. If there is an easier way of doing that I would love to know. Anyway my question is how can I add formatted text to a list.
So instead of those individual text elements I want to add multiple formatted text elements in place of one.
how can I add formatted text to a list
sorry, that's unfortunately not possible with App Inventor
you can take a look at this App Inventor Classic example, which uses some HTML to do the formatting
