Rich text support and style tips ​

  • If you enter a single space into any text box and save your work, that field will appear as an empty line on the Sinewave Campus Info Kiosk. This can be useful if you want to create white space between two lines of text.
  • The following Unity rich text markup tags are supported, and you can use them to further customize your text.
    • The color tag accepts most color keywords, but can also be used with a hex color code.
    • The size tag will override any general min/max font settings made using the Sinewave Campus Info Kiosk control panel. For more precise font size control, you may wish to set the minimum and maximum font size to the same value, and then use the size tag to edit your text as appropriate.
