Display Tags

OpenLP has the ability to add additional formatting to text in songs and custom slides through the use of g-display-tags. g-display-tags provide a shortcut to use HTML and CSS to format text.

g-display-tags consist of two parts, a starting and an ending tag, each tag consists of brace, tag identifier, brace.

Using a display tag

To use g-display-tags surround the text with a starting tag {} followed by the text to be formatted. End the text to be formatted with an ending tag {/}.

Example of use

To italicize a section of text you would do the following in a custom slide or song:

Amazing grace how {it} sweet {/it} the sound.

This will yield the text as:

Amazing grace how sweet the sound.
