RichTextLabel

Inherits: :ref:`Control<class_Control>` < :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` < :ref:`Node<class_Node>` < :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Label that displays rich text.

Description

Rich text can contain custom text, fonts, images and some basic formatting. The label manages these as an internal tag stack. It also adapts itself to given width/heights.

Note: Assignments to :ref:`bbcode_text<class_RichTextLabel_property_bbcode_text>` clear the tag stack and reconstruct it from the property's contents. Any edits made to :ref:`bbcode_text<class_RichTextLabel_property_bbcode_text>` will erase previous edits made from other manual sources such as :ref:`append_bbcode<class_RichTextLabel_method_append_bbcode>` and the push_* / :ref:`pop<class_RichTextLabel_method_pop>` methods.

Signals

Triggered when the user clicks on content between meta tags. If the meta is defined in text, e.g. [url={"data"="hi"}]hi[/url], then the parameter for this signal will be a :ref:`String<class_String>` type. If a particular type or an object is desired, the :ref:`push_meta<class_RichTextLabel_method_push_meta>` method must be used to manually insert the data into the tag stack.


Triggers when the mouse exits a meta tag.


Triggers when the mouse enters a meta tag.

Property Descriptions

Default false
Setter set_use_bbcode(value)
Getter is_using_bbcode()

If true, the label uses BBCode formatting.


Default ""
Setter set_bbcode(value)
Getter get_bbcode()

The label's text in BBCode format. Is not representative of manual modifications to the internal tag stack. Erases changes made by other methods when edited.

Note: It is unadvised to use += operator with bbcode_text (e.g. bbcode_text += "some string") as it replaces the whole text and can cause slowdowns. Use :ref:`append_bbcode<class_RichTextLabel_method_append_bbcode>` for adding text instead.


Default [ ]
Setter set_effects(value)
Getter get_effects()

The currently installed custom effects. This is an array of :ref:`RichTextEffect<class_RichTextEffect>`s.

To add a custom effect, it's more convenient to use :ref:`install_effect<class_RichTextLabel_method_install_effect>`.


Default true
Setter set_meta_underline(value)
Getter is_meta_underlined()

If true, the label underlines meta tags such as [url]{text}[/url].


Default false
Setter set_override_selected_font_color(value)
Getter is_overriding_selected_font_color()

If true, the label uses the custom font color.


Default 1.0
Setter set_percent_visible(value)
Getter get_percent_visible()

The range of characters to display, as a :ref:`float<class_float>` between 0.0 and 1.0. When assigned an out of range value, it's the same as assigning 1.0.

Note: Setting this property updates :ref:`visible_characters<class_RichTextLabel_property_visible_characters>` based on current :ref:`get_total_character_count<class_RichTextLabel_method_get_total_character_count>`.


Default true
Setter set_scroll_active(value)
Getter is_scroll_active()

If true, the scrollbar is visible. Setting this to false does not block scrolling completely. See :ref:`scroll_to_line<class_RichTextLabel_method_scroll_to_line>`.


Default false
Setter set_scroll_follow(value)
Getter is_scroll_following()

If true, the window scrolls down to display new content automatically.


Default false
Setter set_selection_enabled(value)
Getter is_selection_enabled()

If true, the label allows text selection.


Default 4
Setter set_tab_size(value)
Getter get_tab_size()

The number of spaces associated with a single tab length. Does not affect \t in text tags, only indent tags.


Default ""
Setter set_text(value)
Getter get_text()

The raw text of the label.

When set, clears the tag stack and adds a raw text tag to the top of it. Does not parse BBCodes. Does not modify :ref:`bbcode_text<class_RichTextLabel_property_bbcode_text>`.


Default -1
Setter set_visible_characters(value)
Getter get_visible_characters()

The restricted number of characters to display in the label. If -1, all characters will be displayed.

Method Descriptions

Adds an image's opening and closing tags to the tag stack, optionally providing a width and height to resize the image.

If width or height is set to 0, the image size will be adjusted in order to keep the original aspect ratio.


Adds raw non-BBCode-parsed text to the tag stack.


Parses bbcode and adds tags to the tag stack as needed. Returns the result of the parsing, :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` if successful.


  • void clear ( )

Clears the tag stack and sets :ref:`bbcode_text<class_RichTextLabel_property_bbcode_text>` to an empty string.


Returns the height of the content.


Returns the total number of newlines in the tag stack's text tags. Considers wrapped text as one line.


Returns the total number of characters from text tags. Does not include BBCodes.


Returns the vertical scrollbar.


Returns the number of visible lines.


Installs a custom effect. effect should be a valid :ref:`RichTextEffect<class_RichTextEffect>`.


  • void newline ( )

Adds a newline tag to the tag stack.


The assignment version of :ref:`append_bbcode<class_RichTextLabel_method_append_bbcode>`. Clears the tag stack and inserts the new content. Returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` if parses bbcode successfully.


Parses BBCode parameter expressions into a dictionary.


  • void pop ( )

Terminates the current tag. Use after push_* methods to close BBCodes manually. Does not need to follow add_* methods.


Adds an [align] tag based on the given align value. See :ref:`Align<enum_RichTextLabel_Align>` for possible values.


  • void push_bold ( )

Adds a [font] tag with a bold font to the tag stack. This is the same as adding a [b] tag if not currently in a [i] tag.


  • void push_bold_italics ( )

Adds a [font] tag with a bold italics font to the tag stack.


  • void push_cell ( )

Adds a [cell] tag to the tag stack. Must be inside a [table] tag. See :ref:`push_table<class_RichTextLabel_method_push_table>` for details.


Adds a [color] tag to the tag stack.


Adds a [font] tag to the tag stack. Overrides default fonts for its duration.


Adds an [indent] tag to the tag stack. Multiplies level by current :ref:`tab_size<class_RichTextLabel_property_tab_size>` to determine new margin length.


  • void push_italics ( )

Adds a [font] tag with a italics font to the tag stack. This is the same as adding a [i] tag if not currently in a [b] tag.


Adds a [list] tag to the tag stack. Similar to the BBCodes [ol] or [ul], but supports more list types. Not fully implemented!


Adds a [meta] tag to the tag stack. Similar to the BBCode [url=something]{text}[/url], but supports non-:ref:`String<class_String>` metadata types.


  • void push_mono ( )

Adds a [font] tag with a monospace font to the tag stack.


  • void push_normal ( )

Adds a [font] tag with a normal font to the tag stack.


  • void push_strikethrough ( )

Adds a [s] tag to the tag stack.


Adds a [table=columns] tag to the tag stack.


  • void push_underline ( )

Adds a [u] tag to the tag stack.


Removes a line of content from the label. Returns true if the line exists.

The line argument is the index of the line to remove, it can take values in the interval [0, get_line_count() - 1].


Scrolls the window's top line to match line.


Edits the selected column's expansion options. If expand is true, the column expands in proportion to its expansion ratio versus the other columns' ratios.

For example, 2 columns with ratios 3 and 4 plus 70 pixels in available width would expand 30 and 40 pixels, respectively.

If expand is false, the column will not contribute to the total ratio.
