How to insert html tags like <b> into qa-lang messages?

Question

for messages listed in qa-lang*.php files,  I wanna make part of a message bold. For instance this one:

Privacy: Your email address will only be used for sending these notifications.

something like:

Privacy: Your email address will only be used for sending these notifications.

but

...<b> only be used</b>... would not work.

Any tips please?

Answer 2

Hack method1 (for none-programer)

In the case of upper example:  qa-include/qa-app-format.php (around L1600)

//'note' => qa_lang_html('question/notify_email_note'),

'note' => qa_lang('question/notify_email_note'),

Note: *_html() functions excludes HTML tags from output string.

 

Hack method2 (for programer)

You should override function on your plugin after remodeling qa_lang_html() function in Q2A core.

qa-include/qa-base.php (around L1067)

function qa_lang_html($identifier)

/*

Return the translated string for $identifier, converted to HTML

*/

{

  if (qa_to_override(__FUNCTION__)) { $args=func_get_args(); return qa_call_override(__FUNCTION__, $args); }   // <=== Add one line

  return qa_html(qa_lang($identifier));

}

Example of override function .

function qa_lang_html($identifier)

{

if($identifier =='question/notify_email_note') {

  return qa_lang($identifier);

} else

  return qa_lang_html_base($identifier);

}

Note: My plugin (Lang Filter) will help your understanding.

 

If you understand PHP, I recommend method 2 with a few modified points of Q2A core. Of course there may be other methods, too.

can we do this without changing the core? just by writing plugins?
