I have a button in a vision component that has multi-line text achieved with HTML. The layout has the scale font selected however it seems to not work if the text is encoded with HTML. Is there a way to bypass this to allow for multi line text in buttons to be scaled in a relative scaled window? thanks ---

> [@andrews](#): > > HTML has no place in Vision projects. What? HTML has been part of Vision (for multi-line labels) for a decade, because it is part of Java Swing. The OP's question is legit. (Unfortunately, I don't have an answer.) ---

Check out the inductive university courses, they talk about how to use HTML in Vision a decent deal. As for OP, I’m sorry, I don’t know. ---

Note that it is only partial support of HTML. Also, last I knew it only supported up to HTML 3.2, and not all swing components have the same level of support. @wschauer It’s a long shot and perhaps you’ve already tried it, but maybe a `` (where X is an appropriate percentage for your layout) would allow the text to scale with the component? ---

Use a backslash, or wrap all the text using the “pre-formatted text” button. ---
