How to add bold in Edit Image node

[htnrodrigues]

Hey guys,

I want to add bold to a part of the text that the AI ​​will generate for me. Since this bold part is random, I would like to make it with some variable. Is that possible?

Example:

Example text < bold >from the n8n forum </ bold > published today.

Hello
I hope you are well.

Do you already have the logic set up inside the AI ​​Agent?

Because you can try putting the expression between asterisks

**{{ $json.nameVariavel }}**

Suggestion, then test in a separate flow to validate the suggestion ok

I hope I helped in some way.

If this suggestion solved your problem, mark my post as a solution (blue box with check mark) so that this ongoing discussion does not distract others who want to find out the answer to the original question and press the heart button. Thanks

The Edit Image node uses the GraphicsMagick / gm node module to modify an image. As far as I know, that doesn’t support any kind of markup / formatting within the text string, including markdown syntax, e.g. surrounding the text with markdown ** asterisks for bold, most likely WON’T WORK.

Each time the Edit Image node runs, it applies one fixed string all in the same font/size.

So, you’ll probably have to split up your string and apply it to the image in at least 2 Edit Image steps.

The Edit Image node also doesn’t have a “bold” option so you might be able to simulate that by applying the “bold” part in a slightly larger font size.

Positioning the non-“bold” part after the randomly generated “bold” part will be tricky too. If it’s possible to put them on “separate lines” (i.e. different y-offsets), that might be easier.

Here’s a rough start for what might eventually get you what you want.
