Re: Printing formatted text

If you had explained it better, I might have, too. (Go back and read
your question as if you _don't_ know what you mean. '[how can I format]
text within the string' suggested the text on the canvas to me.)

OK, I explain it better.

Have you ever used the TextOut function on a canvas? It works like
this:
Printer.Canvas.TextOut(x,y,'some text');

Right. Now, if I want to print some bold text I've to use:
Printer.Canvas.Font.Style := [fsBold]; // Next TextOut will print bold
text
Printer.Canvas.Text.Out(x,y,'some bold text');
Printer.Canvas.Font.Style := []; // Next TextOut will print normal text

OK. Now, if I have to print a long text string with SOME words in bold,
and SOME words in italic, how can I make it without using several
TextOut instructions (along with several Printer.Canvas.Font.Style
switches and related positioning matters)?

Thank you.
