What I’m trying to do:
I’m trying to display a label where a number is bolded, like “383 Horses are arriving tomorrow”
What I’ve tried and what’s not working:
I have a rich text component, the contents are set like this: {s1} Horses are arriving tomorrow
My issue is that in s1 I have a label, which I set to bold. It works, but sometimes I see this:
383 Horses are arriving tomorrow
but on some lines in my RichText component, I see this:
383 <insert like 75 spaces here…> Horses are arriving tomorrow.
Now on some of the bolded labels, I can set the width to nothing, and the number concatenates with the text just fine. But on other lines, even if I set the width to nothing, when I click out it re-populates the width… no matter what I do.
Not sure why
If this is just for display purposes, you don’t need to put a label into the rich text component. Set it to Markdown, and use Markdown to make the number bold.

Will test/try, thanks. I am using the label in the slot to display numbers that are variable, this is part of a .pdf generator.
Should work just the same. Instead of:
self.label_1.text = somevariable
You’d do:
self.rich_text_1.content = f"**{somevariable}** Horses are arriving tomorrow"

interesting… so I set the field to markdown
then the code to load is this:
var = '300'
self.rt1.content = f"**{var}** Horses are arriving tomorrow"
but then I see this:
if I make that a single asterisk, it makes it italics so somethings working
I used this code:
temp = '300'
self.rich_text_2.content = f"**{temp}** Horses"
And got this:
which looks just like I’d expect. Not sure what’s happening with yours, since it looks like the same code.
Mine was on a fresh Material 3 app, maybe something CSS oriented?
Depending on the program and the font, some fonts do not “bold” properly. You might want to try with a different font, just to check.

Font was the problem. I had not specified a font - so that solved the issue. Thanks all.
