Formatting escape sequences for text

Schematic
1

I was wondering if anyone knew of any text formatting codes in a text box to apply formatting at a character level. I know of the tilde (~) for over-bar and it acts as a switch. (First tilde turns it on, second turns it off, third turns it on, etc.) And two consecutive tildes will escape the code and give me a tilde character.

But are there any other formatting codes? Are there any others to allow me to bold, italicize, underline, superscript, and/or subscript a substring of the whole text while leaving the rest of the text to the settings in the text properties requestor?

FWIW Here is my build information, built using kicad-winbuilder running on Win8.1Pro:

Thanks for that tip. Sorry I have no more to add. I tested the ~ in both eeschema and pcbnew and it works great in both. The other usual suspects and everything else I tried around the keyboard in singles and doubles didn’t achieve anything else. There are text format attributes for an entire text element for bold or italic, but I can’t see anything at the character level.

Thanks again,
Geoff

i think basically only the ~ is implemented for the ‘NOT’ notation.
i found out about it by mistake i thing :wink:
