I have several long sentences for instruction, I want to emphasis some important words e.g., to be Italic or another color (which is difference form the whole sentences font or tycolor), how can I do this?

And when I require participants to answer a textbox element question by asking them to write a pharagraph, how should I set the attribute? AS the options in MASK only contain alphabetic or alphabeticnumber, even space are not allowed. for example,  particiants want to answer "I am so happy yesterday because my mom bought my long-cherished Logo, it was more than $100!"

Is anybody know how to deal with this? Thanks!

If you are talking about instruction pages displayed via /pre- or /postinstructions, you can create HTML files formatted the way you want and use <htmlpage>. If you are talking about regular <text> elements displayed in <trial>s, it's not possible to change the formatting for single words.

If you don't want to impose any constraints on what participants can input, do not specify any /mask attribute. It's optional.

Ok, thank you! So it is also impossible to change format in radiobuttons elements right?

And I also have another question, can I refer to the particiant's text answer? For example, I have an open question asking participants to write down their favorite colleague's name, (e.g., one participant give the answer "Anna"), how can I refer to this specfic answer in later questions? for example a later question is "I like to chat with ___ in my spare time", and this particpant would see "I like to chat with Anna in my spare time"

Thank you for your help!

You cannot change the format of individual words, correct.

Hi Dave,

I am really sorry that I checked the language reference website but still unclear about how to use <values>.
Examples were given like tracking the total score and sum of squares of response latencies.
What I want to track is the text answer.

<textbox friend_firstname>
/ caption = "Please write down the first name of this person. "
/ mask = alphabetic
/ minchars = 50 ***without mask but add a limitation
</textbox>

How could I track the answer that participant give?
e.g., participant A answered Anna, participants B answered Luna, participant C ...
And next question is

<radiobuttons satisfaction>
/ caption = "I usually know how satisfied '<%textbox.friend_firstname%>' is with what I do"
/ options = ("1 (strongly disagree)", " 2 ", " 3 ", " 4 ", " 5 ", " 6 ", " 7 (strongly agree)")
/ optionvalues = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7")
/ orientation = horizontal
</radiobuttons>

Thank you very much!
Wenrui

You don't need <values> to track the response. The response is tracked in textbox.friend_firstname.response

<radiobuttons satisfaction>
/ caption = "I usually know how satisfied '<%textbox.friend_firstname.response%>' is with what I do"
/ options = ("1 (strongly disagree)", " 2 ", " 3 ", " 4 ", " 5 ", " 6 ", " 7 (strongly agree)")
