Rich Text Formatting in Other Fields

alasdair157

Hi there,

I really like the rich text formatting for titles in library items - but it doesn't work in other fields (e.g. in the author column "<b> Einstein </b> et al." doesn't show as bold).

I was wondering if it would be possible to implement this for the other columns or if there's a plugin / work around that I haven't been able to find?

Many thanks,
Alasdair

No. Why would you want that? Einstein is an author's name — you would be corrupting the metadata by adding rich text. The point of rich text in the title field is that the rich text actual represents the title.

Thanks for your response - that makes sense. I wanted it as a stylistic thing to make it easier to see specific authors. Would there be anyway to highlight them without corrupting the metadata? Maybe the same thing for titles too - just a visual cue to highlight important parts without affecting the actual stored titles.
