How to get a bold Labelfield (EditorGUIStyle)

Question

How do I get a Labelfield showing bold letters? I tried using a modified style, but the Labelfield doesn't accept the new style as an option:

 EditorGUILayout.LabelField("", "Headline:", GUILayout.MinHeight(20),GUILayout.MaxWidth(320),boldtext);

the variable boldtext gets rejected. I defined it this way:

 var boldtext = new GUIStyle (GUI.skin.label);
 boldtext.fontStyle = FontStyle.Bold;

Am I using the style in a wrong way? Is there another to apply it? Somebody please help.

Hello there.

I use this:

EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Inspector", EditorStyles.boldLabel);

To get the desired result. Sorry if you already solved it, but well. :)

Good luck!

In some cases you may want to change only a specific word or sentence, so you just need to make your text like that:

 sb.Append("<size=10> <color=yellow><b>WARNING: </b></color> Some text here</size>");

In this case my style font size is 8, so this text will be a bit bigger then the other lines, the word WARNING will be written in yellow and bold and 'Some text here' is the default color.

For this to work in editor you need to enable rich text:

 GUIStyle style = new GUIStyle ();
 style.richText = true;
 
 EditorGUILayout.LabelField("<b>Warning:</b> Stay alert.",style);
