  • Hi @brunocloutier

    For this case, you need to create a function that will convert certain patterns to certain HTML tags. You can use the preg_replace() function to do it. For example, if you want to convert the words between stars (*) into italic, you can use this code:

    $text = get_field('text');
$pattern = '/(.*)\*(.*)\*(.*)/';
$replacement = '$1<i>$2</i>$3';
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $text);

    That way you can input the text like this:

    this is normal *this is italic* this is normal

    I hope this helps 🙂
