Hey guys,
I think this might help me in the future, but I want to use
something like this for school. Say i have this text:
"dog- an animal that barks
cat- an animal that meows"
So what I want to do is select the words before the "-" to make them
bold. The words dog and cat should be bold. Sometimes i have very
large lists to do
this with and it gets annoying to constantly select each word and
make it bold.. So let me know if it is possible.
