How does a designer set up the text in the scene with italics, bolding, bulleted lists, and numbered lists. Do I need to use HTML characters? <b> text </b>?

  Hi Michael,

  BranchTrack does not support text formatting at present. If you like to emphasize a certain portion of text, we advise splitting it into several scenes. Although, in general, we recommend trusting the reading abilities of your audience :) Having said that, we do consider adding light markup in one of our future releases.

  Konstantin,

  My BT instance is trying to bring dissertation students through a review of APA style formatting in their Reference lists. My APA formatting BT instance uses italics in its basic formatting for journal articles and book titles. I wanted to simply specify choices through branching within the text editor. I had to develop a work around by creating the formatting of APA samples in PowerPoint and then bring a graphic of the slide into BT as a background for a scene. That is a lot of work when a simple text editor should be able to cope with underlining, bolding, and italics.

  This is an improvement to your tool that is a critical success factor for me to use BT in sims I am creating in the future. Twine provides this capability very simply and easily. I would really like to see this a priority for new releases.
