[Feature]: AutoWidth Label to display HTML formatted text

[jean-goyat]

Is this request for a new component, or additional functionality for an existing component? additional functionality for an existing component

Have you validated that your desired feature or component is not already in the backlog? Yes

Describe the component and functionality you would like to see in the starter kit Give the autowidth label the ability to render HTML text (either by default or by toggling an HTML property that would indicate the text entered in the Text property is HTML)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Create 2 controls: one HTML text label and one AutoWidth label

• AutoWidth label text property receives the PlainText(HTML.Text) content and is the same Size and Font as the one displayed in the HTML text label
• HTML control width is set to AutoWidthLabel.AutoWidth
• place the AutoWidth label behind the HTML one (not hidden otherwise the width doesn't always get picked up) and set it's text color to be transparent

The HTML label displays the text and get's it's width from the AutoWidth label, but some variations in FontWeight don't make it accurate.

Unfortunately, due to resource constraints on this community offering, we are unable to spend resources on feature improvements for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we are closing this item for now.

However, this is a great scenario that we don't want to lose, so adding a label to mark this as a priority backlog item so we can prioritize this if resources become available later on. Feel free to share additional specific use cases after the item is closed. We will also capture this feedback internally for consideration in the main product. Adding this idea to the Power Apps ideas forum will also help increase the chances of implementation in product.
