  • Patent number: 11928418
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for text style suggestions and/or text emphasis suggestions. In an example embodiment, an electronic design application provides a text style suggestion tool that generates text style suggestions to stylize a selected text element based on the context of the design. A text emphasis tool allows a user to select a text element and generate text emphasis suggestions for which words should be emphasized with a different text styling. Various interaction elements allow the user to iterate through the suggestions. For example, a set of style suggestions may be mapped to successive rotational increments around a style wheel, and as the user rotates through the positions on the style wheel, a corresponding text style suggestion is previewed and/or applied.
