Do you know, if it's possible to write simple html code in the prompt of the parameters for a workbench in FME Cloud.

I do it in Desktop (to have text color, bold or italic) and it's works good. But in FME Cloud the html is not translate.

You can write your own HTML page for it (but can't host that on FME Cloud). There used to be a code sample in the advanced parameters section of the Run Workspace page on FME Server/Cloud but it was removed a few versions ago.

I have an idea out there to bring them back, please vote for it :)

Also... I had no idea it was possible to use HTML on parameter prompts on Desktop! That is so cool!!

Hi @damien

I didn't know this was possible in FME Desktop either, very cool!

 

However, FME Server does not support any HTML style injection via parameters. As @redgeographics already pointed out, creating your own web page for the workspace would be a workaround. Here are some resources that can help with that:

You can also always file an Idea to support styling of Parameters in the FME Server WebUI here:
