Supported Rich Text Tags

Important

This package is deprecated. From Unity 2023.2, TextMesh Pro is part of the Unity UI (uGUI) package. For current documentation, refer to TextMesh Pro in the Unity UI package.

The following table is a quick reference of supported rich text tags. For details, see the main pages for specific tags.

Tag:	Description:	Notes:
<align>	Changes the text's horizontal alignment.
<allcaps>	Converts text to uppercase before rendering.	Functionally identical to <uppercase>.
<alpha>	Changes text opacity.
<b>	Renders text in boldface.
<br>	Forces a line break in text.
<color>	Changes text color or color and opacity.
<cspace>	Changes spacing between characters.
<font>	Changes text font and, optionally, material.
<font-weight>	Changes the text's font weight to any of the weights defined in the font Asset.
<gradient>	Applies a gradient preset to text.
<i>	Renders text in italics.
<indent>	Indents all text between the tag and the next hard line break.
<line-height>	Modifies the line height relative to the default line height specified in the font Asset.
<line-indent>	Indents the first line after every hard line break.	New lines created by word-wrapping are not indented.
<link>	Specifies a link ID for a text segment.
<lowercase>	Converts text to lowercase before rendering.
<margin>	Gives the text horizontal margins.	You can set margins for both sides together or each side individually
<mark>	Highlights the text with a colored overlay.	The overlay must be translucent (alpha less than 1) for the text to show through.
<mspace>	Renders the text as monospace.
<nobr>	Keeps a segment of text together.
<noparse>	Prevents parsing of text that TextMesh Pro would normally interpret as rich text tags.
<page>	Adds a page break to the text.	The text's Overflow mode must be set to Page for page breaks to work.
<pos>	Sets the horizontal caret position on the current line.
<rotate>	Rotates each character about its center.
<s>	Renders a line across the text.
<size>	Adjusts the font size for a specified portion of the text.
<smallcaps>	Converts text to uppercase before rendering.
<space>	Adds a horizontal offset between itself and the rest of the text.
<sprite>	Adds a sprite to the text.	By default, TextMesh Pro looks in the default sprite assets, but you can use tag attributes to retrieve sprites from other assets.
<strikethrough>	Draws a line slightly above the baseline so it crosses out the text.
<style>	Applies a custom style to the text.
<sub>	Converts the text to subscript.
<sup>	Converts the test to superscript.
<u>	Draws a line slightly below the baseline to underline the text.
<uppercase>	Converts text to uppercase before rendering.	Functionally identical to <allcaps>.
<voffset>	Gives the baseline a vertical offset.
<width>	Changes the horizontal size of text area.
