How to change style of text inline

[sidmint]

Suppose in a sentence, I want few words to have different colours and sizes within the same line. One way of doing it is by using multiple elements, where needed, each having different styles but it would be very delicate arrangement prone to disturbances and not efficient. Editing html code must be a good way but I don't know that yet. So is there another way? It's simple to do in a word processor app by simply selecting a portion of a sentence and changing its property. And that happens in Silex too, like for Bold; Underline; Italics, but not for colour and size. Whole style must be changed for changing the colour and size, unlike Bold; Underline; Italics. So may be this is a feature request if so applies and there's no other easy way.

Hello @sidmint This is a very good question What I do usually is put a style on text, let's say italic and then I style the italic in the style editor : I remove the italic appearance of italic text, I change color and size... I do the same with bold or underlined Do you see what I mean? Does it feal right to you? Maybe I should add other "inline" tags like span or maybe span1, span2...?

Oh wow, that's a clever way to do it, I could not think of it. Thanks a lot.

Though, it would be easier if there's a more straight forward way.

@sidmint so I am thinking I should add 3 buttons which add a span tag around the selection with css class name .style1, .style2 and .style3

Do you think it is enough? Is it a good css class names?

Also I wonder how you understand the style editor so well. Most people I know have hard times understanding how to style text in Silex. Did you learn with the docs or videos or does it feel obvious to you?

It would be helpful indeed, though still being limited due to a bigger issue as I indicated here #1072. And names look good.

Learning style management: I think my fortunate past experience with Libreoffice Writer is helping me and I was pretty much unaware of these things before that. Learning Silex: I've learnt Silex mostly from the Youtube videos, specially the two elaborate official webinars available as of now, those two webinars were very necessary. It gave me a good kick start and I feel blessed to have learnt even more now after using the software.
