Syntax for Bolding Text in a configured field

If I want to bold only this highlighted sentence, what is the lpl syntax to do that. Or is this possible?

So you won’t be adding formatting in the DerivedField definition itself. You can add formatting wherever you use the field on a form.

E.g.

MyFieldA

bold

italic

red

Check out FormField in the developer guide for all formatting options.

Those attributes should be indented. This site is lousy for code snippets.

but if I do this, the entire text field will be bolded. Can I bold only a portion of the text?

It isn't possible to bold just part of a text field. The way I worked around this was to split my text field into parts that I could format as I needed. This solution isn't particularly clean, but it works.

Attached is an example and the underlying LPL code is below. Hope it helps!

    single column
            visible when (IsMailingAddress)
                text of untranslatable:"This is your MAILING address."
                    bold
                    color of red
                    align as label
            visible when (not IsMailingAddress)
                text of untranslatable:"This is NOT your mailing address."
                    bold
                    color of red
                    align as label
            paragraph
                text of untranslatable:"Important:"
                    bold
                    color of red
                    align as label
                text of untranslatable:"Paychecks, W2s and all CMC correspondence will be mailed to your"
                text of untranslatable:"Mailing Address"
                    bold
