Creatives now render inline formatting on text blocks, buttons, and taglines. Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, font size, font weight, and color all display correctly in the live creative.
Flow operator content (statements, answers, links) also renders formatted text. Only safe formatting is kept, so the creative stays clean even with complex styling.
See also: Frontend 8.29.0 for the editing side.
Italic text now uses the actual italic version of the font instead of the browser tilting the regular version. The difference is subtle but noticeable, especially on serif fonts.
Bold and italic text could appear unstyled in the live creative, even when formatting was applied in the builder. The styling is now preserved correctly.
Hide animations could misfire in creatives with many flow steps, causing blocks to flicker or skip their transitions. The engine now tracks animation timing per step, so hide animations only wait for show animations that are actually in progress.
