GetAsSVG()

Category: Text

Parameters:

textAny expression that resolves to a text string.

Data type returned: Text

Description:

GetAsSVG() returns a representation of the text string, marked up in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. SVG can capture rich text formatting that has been applied to a text string.

SVG format can be used to transfer formatted text from FileMaker to other applications. You can also test an SVG-formatted version of a text string to determine what, if any, formatting has been applied to the string.

Examples:

The field myField contains two phrases, Go Team and Hello World!, each with some text formatting applied to it.
