Text modifiers in Data

Question

I've created a data-model in SwiftUI

import Foundation
struct BLSectionModel : Identifiable {
var descriptionTop : String
}

The data looks as follows:

import Foundation
import SwiftUI

let blSectionsDataV1 : [BLSectionModel] = [
bulletDescription: "I want to have multiple \(Text("**formats**")) for text in the _same **text box**_ at the same time even if it is really \(Text("_really_ **really _really_** ~~really~~")) long text so it would need to wrap correctly and maybe even include \(Text("[links](https://www.apple.com)!)")) to another website")
]

the code runs without an (obvious) error but all I see is

all I get on the view is I want to have multiple Text(storage: SwiftUI.Text.Storage.anyTextStorage(: "formats"), modifiers: [1) for text in the _same text box at the same time even if it is really Text(storage: SwiftUI.Text.Storage.anyTextStorage(<Lo calized TextStorage: 0x000060000156cf50>: "really really really really"), modifiers: []) long text so it would need to wrap correctly and maybe even include Text(storage: SwiftUI.Text.Storage.anyTextStorage(: "links!)"), modifiers: []) to another website

But I want to have

I want to have multiple for text in the same text box at the same time even if it is really (Text("really really really

<s>really<s>

")) long text so it would need to wrap correctly and maybe even include (Text("links!)")) to another website")

Unfortunately, your code doesn't compile, nor do you show how you are actually displaying the data. But I think I get the general idea. The key to getting it to display the text with the formatting is to convert it to LocalizedStringKey (see How to format Text bold from a String in SwiftUI? for more explanation).

Here is a working example based on your snippets:

struct BLSectionModel : Identifiable {
    let id = UUID()
    var descriptionTop : LocalizedStringKey
}

struct ContentView: View {
    private let blSectionsDataV1 : [BLSectionModel] = [
        BLSectionModel(
            descriptionTop: "I want to have multiple \(Text("**formats**")) for text in the _same **text box**_ at the same time even if it is really \(Text("_really_ **really _really_** ~~really~~")) long text so it would need to wrap correctly and maybe even include \(Text("[links](https://www.apple.com)!)")) to another website"
        )
    ]

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            ForEach(blSectionsDataV1) { data in
                Text(data.descriptionTop)
            }
        }
    }
}
