Hello,

I was wondering if I can have different colours in a concatenation string on an HTML Text control?

Concatenate("Modified By: ",galDocData.Selected.'Modified By'.DisplayName," on ",galDocData.Selected.Modified)

Essentially, Id like the Modified By and Modified to be Yellow and the rest White.

Yes, you can use the CSS style property on HTML tags:

Black Red Green Blue

Hi @sudosaurus can you try using inline styles? for an example:

"Modified By:"&""&Label1.Text&" On "&""&Label2_2.Text&""

You would need to change the inputs to be yours but this should give you an idea on how to concatenate a HTML String.

I prefer the $ syntax for long strings, I think it's more readable:
$"Modified By: {Label1.Text} On {Label2_2.Text}"

@AndrewR1, use SPAN tag, not P, and to close a tag use /. Your HTML is poorly formatted.

@AndrewR1 can I not just refer to column names in the list rather than referencing labels in the app?

I've tried this but it doesnt seem to work:

Concatenate("Modified By: ,"galDocData.Selected.'Modified By'.DisplayName," on ",galDocData.Selected.Modified)

Yes you can use column names as the inputs I just use labels as an example! can i ask why are you using Concatenate? can you try this for the HTML Text:
"Modified By: ,"&galDocData.Selected.'Modified By'.DisplayName&", on "&galDocData.Selected.Modified&""

@AndrewR1

I used concatenate originally on a label to display two text values.

Is there any way I can display this horizontally though?

Yes, use my code. Use SPAN instead of P.
