Dashboards & Visualizations

Bold just some text within a table cell

I have a dashboard that utilizes several different data sources (VPN, Windows, Netflow, etc) and creates a "narrative" of what the user did while logged on by adding new fields with descriptive messages that I then display in a time sorted table to the user.

What I would like to do is simple, but I can't figure out how to do.  I would like to bold just certain text in the message field to draw the viewers eye to the important parts of the message.

Example:

tstamp type plugin msg

2020-09-23 12:18:30INFOVPNVPN Session started for user quickbrownfox using assigned IP192.168.1.1 and external IP 10.1.1.1 on VPN node FARMERBROWNVPN1 with tunnel group farmtunnel.
2020-09-23 12:19:52INFOWindowsSuccessful windows login as user QUICKBROWNFOX on domain FARM from workstation WIN-FOX01.

 

 

I've tried embedded bold tags with <B> as well as CDATA variant and it doesn't bold the text.  It just comes through escaped.
