You have several options for formatting free-form texts. You can format the entire free-form text as well as a selected part of the free-form text.

Warning

Free-form texts are not saved in groups and are thus not protected by access privileges for groups. Therefore, it is possible to have reports output the free-form texts of models for which the person running the report does not have read privileges. Therefore, remember not to include confidential information in free-form texts but to use model and object attributes for that.
