What would be the correct way to make a Show Message Action text blink? I tried < blink > but did not work. And since we are here what type of coding does SambaPos uses for text formatting? is it HTML?
There is no <blink> formatting tag. To answer your question: you cannot make text blink; there is no feature for that.
No. It is similar, but it is proprietary.
Formatting tags:
These all require a closing tag, except those which are <implicit/>. For example:
<bold>some bold text</bold>
<linebreak/>
<italic>some italicized text</italic><br/>
<underline>this text is underlined</underline>
…
<bold>
<extrabold>
<thin> : thinner style
<italic>
<underline>
<b>, <u>, <i> : short for bold, underline, italic
<img> : displays an image (URLs supported)
<linebreak/> : forces a NewLine (NL)
<br/> : stops auto-NL in Ticket Lister, fine-tune with <br/>
<sym> : displays symbol from Segoe UI Symbol font
<size x> : font size
<font x> : font name
<color x> : font color
<block margin color alignment width>
: margin=Left,Top,Right,Bottom
: alignment=left,right,center,justified
<panel color alignment>
: alignment=left,right,center
Perfect, I was just about to ask for some formatting help. Thanks a lot!
I think there are a few more formatting tags that were added in later versions, but I cannot recall what all of them are. For example, there is one like this:
<timer>
… which is not really a “formatting” tag, but sets a timer, for … something, lol. Maybe that could be used in conjunction with the <color> tag to make a blinky appearance… not sure.
