Text objects are defined by the following attributes of a UI control:
- The attribute of some UI controls, such as Label or TextElement, that sets the display text.
text - The attribute of the TextField that accepts the input text, and the
valueattribute that sets the display text for TextField.label
You can use USS text properties to style text, such as set the font size and color, etc.
You can also add a new font to style text. Convert fonts to font assets before you use them in your project. In addition to USS styling, you can use rich text tags to style certain words in a text string.
