including html tags in text plugin commands

[bertelot 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi,

if i include a simple html tag like <b> in my TextPlugin command, like this ...:

 

TweenLite.to(yourElement, 2, {text:"This is the <br>new</b> text", ease:Linear.easeNone});

 

the "new" text will be displayed bold, BUT for a short period of time the <b> and </b> tag is visible (before it disappears).

 

Is there a way to make html tags NOT be visible?

 

Thank you!

Sorry, the TextPlugin does not support nested html tags like <b>, <strong>, <em> etc. It only works on straight text.

 

You can create two text elements and tween them separately like so:

 

var tl = new TimelineLite();


tl.to("span.normal", 1, {text:"welcome to the "})
  .to("span.bold", 1, {text:"BOLD TEXT "})
  .timeScale(2);
