Text-html NPM | npm.io

PixiJS HTMLText

An alternative to PIXI.Text that works with PixiJS v5 (both WebGL and Canvas), however, it has some advantages:

Supports HTML tags for styling such as <strong>, or <em>, as well as <span style="">
Better support for emojis and other HTML layout features, better compatibility with CSS line-height and letter-spacing.

Disadvantages:

Unlike PIXI.Text, HTMLText rendering will vary slightly between platforms and browsers. HTMLText uses SVG/DOM to render text and not Context2D's fillText like PIXI.Text.
Performance and memory usage is on-par with PIXI.Text (that is to say, slow and heavy)
Only works with browsers that support <foreignObject>, i.e., no Internet Explorer support.
Only supports web-safe fonts for the fontFamily attribute.

Install

npm install @pixi/text-html

yarn add @pixi/text-html

Usage

import { HTMLText } from '@pixi/text-html';
import { TextStyle } from '@pixi/text';

// Can use the TextStyle class found in @pixi/text
const style = new TextStyle({ fontSize: 20 });

// Make a new HTMLText object
const text = new HTMLText("Hello World", style);

Important: Because the HTMLText object takes a raw HTML string, it's represents a potential vector for XSS, it's strongly encourage you santize input especially if you're accepting user-strings.
