Bold formatting using \\b markers not supported or hard to implement with AutoHyphenatingText

[Sunisha-Eversion]

I’m trying to apply bold formatting to specific words within a block of text using custom markers (e.g., \bword\b) when rendering text with AutoHyphenatingText. However, there doesn’t seem to be a straightforward way to parse and style inline text segments dynamically, as AutoHyphenatingText doesn’t support TextSpan or rich text formatting out of the box.

Example input string:

"Im Modell siehst du, dass die \b blau dargestellten Muskeln \b verlängert und die \b gelb dargestellten Muskeln \b verkürzt sind. Durch die Ergebnisse können wir Rückschlüsse auf deine angegebenen Schmerzen ziehen. In den folgenden Schritten erklären wir dir die Auswirkungen."

Expected behavior:

Words wrapped in \b...\b should be rendered in bold, preserving the hyphenation and layout behavior of AutoHyphenatingText.

What I tried:

Parsing the string and using RichText with TextSpan works, but AutoHyphenatingText does not support this.

Feature Request or Question:

Could AutoHyphenatingText support some kind of inline styling or custom parsing logic for rich text features like bold/italic? Or is there a recommended approach to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Why not use markdown?

Why not use markdown?

Hi, but you're referring to a plugin, right? I was actually looking for hyphenation as well. So, is there something we can do with AutoHyphenatingText?

I mean instead of \b and \b why not use ** and **

Not working. Not a solution with this plugin.
