How to Format Text in the Multiple Choice Options?

Hello, I'm working on a form that uses the Multiple Choice Properties for one of the questions. I'd like to be able to apply some basic formatting to the options, like bolding a word and adding hard returns.

For example, one of the question options is:

Garden Care – includes planting and transplanting, soil preparation, pruning and trimming, fertilization

And I would like to display it like this:

Garden Care
– includes planting and transplanting, soil preparation, pruning and trimming, fertilization


Is there a way to do this?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can use the HTML tags in the multiple choice options to format them and bold them. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, click on the Multiple Choice field and select the Gear icon to open the Multiple Choice Properties.
2. Go to the Options tab.
3. On the Options tab, use <strong> html tag before the word and end it with </strong> html tag.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

Hi Kyle,

Unfortunately, this isn't working.

When I try to type the HTML tag, < gets converted to &lt;.

If I try and copy and paste <strong></strong> into the box, it just shows it all as text. (see attached screenshot)

Hi Mark,

I checked your form and saw that it's already in effect. Check out my screenshot below:Let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with.
