Example of a decorated text:

"payload": "Lorem i<c=#ff0000><u>p</u></c>su<s>m</s> is simply <c=#1A47FF>dummy</c> <u>text</u>" "color": "#ffffff" "background_color": "#8A4F4F" "background_padding": "2 6" "skew_y": -4 "alignment": "middle center" "font_size": 30 "line_height": 150 "shadow_color": "#000080" "shadow_blur": 3 "shadow_offset_x": 0 "shadow_offset_y": 6
"payload": "Lorem i<c=cmyka(0,100,100,0)><u>p</u></c>su<s>m</s> is simply <c=cmyka(90,72,0,0,100)>dummy</c> <u>text</u>" "color": "cmyka(0,0,0,0,100)" "background_color":"cmyka(0,43,43,46)" "background_padding": "2 6" "skew_y": -4 "alignment": "middle center" "font_size": 30 "line_height": 150 "shadow_color":cmyka(100,100,0,50,100)" "shadow_blur": 3 "shadow_offset_x": 0 "shadow_offset_y": 6

Color

color: The text color, can be a monochrome (6-8 digits hexa color) , gradient (Go to Linear Gradient documentation), or cmyka (only for print, cmyka)

Examples:

"color": "#1A47FF"
"color": "linear-gradient(0% 0% 100% 0%,0% #0a68ff 1,100% #ff0000 1)"
"color": "cmyka(89,51,0,13,100)"

Payload

payload is the text content.

Constraints:

• Cannot be empty

• 2048 characters maximum

Line breaks

By default, line breaks are automatically computed from the available space.

You can however force line breaks by adding \n.

Beware of external integrations (Zapier, Integromat, Airtable): as they support multi text line inputs this parameter won't be interpreted on the Abyssale generation side.

Example:

"payload": "Lorem Ipsum\nis simply dummy text"

Partial Text Decorations

Text markups can be added to underline, colorise, strike of change font weight on specific part of the payload. (it resembles html markup but is not)

Text markups will override global text decoration settings. If you only want to change the global text style, do not use markups -> use global text properties.

Available markups:

Type	Markup
Color	<c={hexaColor}>my colored part</c> Example: <c=#FF0000>Lorem Ipsum</c> is simply dummy text
Font weight	<w={weight}>my changed part</w> {weight}: Integer representing the font weight (100 to 900): thin (100), normal (400), bold (700), heavy (900)). If the font does not support the given weight, it fallbacks to the current weight. Example: <w=900>Lorem Ipsum</w> is simply dummy text
Underline	<u>my underline part</u> Example: <u>Lorem Ipsum</u> is simply dummy text
Underline with colored line	<u={hexaColor}>my colored underline part</u> Example: <u=#FF0000>Lorem Ipsum</u> is simply dummy text
Strike through	<s>my strikethrough part</s> Example: <s>Lorem Ipsum</s> is simply dummy text
Strike through with colored strike	<s={hexaColor}>my colored strike part</s> Example: <s=#FF0000>Lorem Ipsum</s> is simply dummy text
Diagonal Strike through	<d>my diagonal strike part</d> Example: <d>Lorem Ipsum</d> is simply dummy text
Diagonal Strike through with colored strike	<d={hexaColor}>my colored diagonal strike part</d> Example: <d=#FF0000>Lorem Ipsum</d> is simply dummy text
Background color	<bg={hexaColor}>Text with bg color</bg> The padding around the background is controlled on the whole element (by using the background_padding property) Example: <bg=#f6aeb8>Lorem Ipsum</bg> is simply dummy text
Font size	<f={fontSize}>Text with font size changed</f> {fontSize} can be either an absolute value (110 for instance), which will be interpreted in pixels or a percentage (110%) of the current font size. Example: Lorem <f=60%>ipsum</f> is simply dummy text
Superscript	<sup>Text smaller, slightly above the normal line</sup> Example: Lorem Ip<sup>sum</sup> is simply dummy text
Subscript	<sub>Text smaller, slightly below the normal line</sub> Example: Lorem Ip<sub>sum</sub> is simply dummy text

{hexaColor}: 6 or 8 (for the opacity) digits hexadecimal color starting with # (i.e. #EAEAEA or #00000080)

{cmykaColor}: 4-5 numbers digits starting with cmyka(only for print)

All of those markups can be combined.

It works like HTML. You have to pay attention on how you write your opening & closing tags.

Background padding

background_padding: The padding of the background color around the text.

• String: Two numbers separated by a space: First number represents the vertical padding in pixels & the second the vertical padding. For instance: 0 10 : 0 as vertical padding & 10 as horizontal

• or 1 Number: Horizontal & vertical paddings in pixels

This parameter will only be used if a background color is defined.

Examples:

"background_padding": "0 10"
"background_padding": "5 10"

Stroke

A stroke can be added to text. In order to customise it, 2 properties are available:

• stroke_width: Number between 0 & 40. Width of the stroke

• stroke_color: 6-8 digits Hexa color. , for print cmyka

If your template does not contain any stroke, those 2 properties are required to have a stroke (and the width must be > 0).

Example:

stroke_width: 8 stroke_color: "#1A47FF"

Text Alignment

alignment can be defined to override the default text alignment.

The text position will then be computed from the text bounding box defined within the template.

It can be of two forms:

• One string: top, middle, bottom, left, center, right

• Two strings: One vertical alignment parameter (top, middle, bottom) associated with a horizontal alignment parameter (left, center, right) separated by a space. i.e: (top left , middle right)

Examples:

"alignment": "center"
"alignment": "right"

Font

The default font can be overridden with the font and font_weight properties:

• font: String. Force a specific font by ID. The fonts list is available by calling the GET /fonts API route.
• font_weight: Number. Force a font weight. Available values: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900

If the font does not contain a font weight, the nearest weight will be used.

Examples:

Podkova font (Medium): font: "6156872a-33c5-11ea-9877-92672c1b8195" font_weight: 500
Poppins font (Extra Bold): font: "6156907e-33c5-11ea-9877-92672c1b8195" font_weight: 800
