Formstack allows the use of HTML in the form field labels and supporting text. While this behavior was supported in the past, it was more of a workaround and not officially a feature. With the most current version of of our form engine, V4 Live Forms, we now officially support the following tags and attributes.
Note -
- HTML tags will only work on form field labels and supporting text. They will not work on option labels.
- Any other tags used, not listed on this page, will not be rendered on the form. This is due to enhanced security purposes.
Here is a general how to for adding HTML tags into the form labels and supporting text on a Formstack form.
- Highlight the field you want to add HTML on.
- Add the HTML tags you want to in front of the words in the label or the supporting text. The tags will be shown in the form builder view, but as soon as you view the "Live Form", the tags will be replaced with the expected behavior for those tags.
- Here is what an unformatted form would look like when viewing the "Live Form"
- Here is what a form formatted with HTML tags would look like. Notice that the label and the supporting text are both BOLD and BIG compared to the rest of the text on the form.
Here is the list of the supported HTML tags and attributes you can use on your Formstack form.
