It was shown  how to UNDERLINE a text by adding %%U , or to a MTEXT by  "{\\L"  as prefix , and  "}" as sufix.

Can you show how to do other changes in both , as BOLD CURSIVE , and so on ?

Hi,

What I founded for mtexts:

"{\\fArial|b1|i0|c0|p34;your text}" => your text (bold)
"{\\fArial|b0|i1|c0|p34;your text}" => your text (italic)
"{\\fArial|b1|i1|c0|p34;your text}" => your text (bold and italic)

I'don't know about c and p options

Some others options available

"{\\Oyour} text" => overlines "your"
"{\\C1;your} text" => your text (color 1)
"{\\H5;your text}" => absolute height
"{\\H2x;your text}" => relative height
"{\\T2;your text}" => space between characters (from 0.75 to 4)
"{\\Q20;your text}" => inclination angle
"{\\W2;your text}" => relative width (stretch the text)

Thanks Gile.

The format strings for mtext are in the help files, as for text, I'm not quite sure that you can do as much to them as you can with mtext.

as for 'TEXT' besides %%U one can use the following
%%C
%%O
%%D
%%P
