Can I mix font weights in the same paragraph when using pdfkit?

javascript, node-pdfkit, node.js, pdf, pdf-generation

Solution

The documented way to handle this is continued.

pdf.font('Helvetica-Bold').text('Hello ', {
    continued: true
}).font('Helvetica').text('World!');

Problem

I'm trying to find a way to use bold font weights for inline emphasis in pdfkit Unfortunately I cannot find a way to change the font without forcing a line break (bad for inline emphasis...). I was trying something like: ``` pdf.text('Hello ', LEFT, 200).font(bold).text('World!'); ``` but this will output Hello World I also digged through the source but could not find any option to prevent this. Anyone has any idea or workaround to tackle this problem? EDIT: All I could come up with by now is a ugly hack looking like this: ``` pdf.text('Hello ', LEFT, 200).moveUp(1).font(bold).text('World!', {indent: pdf.widthOfString('Hello ')}); ``` which is working but far from flexible and maintainable.
