Text Tkinter | Python 3

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to use Text widget in Tkinter. Text widgets provide advanced features that allow you to edit multiline text and format the way it should be displayed, such as changing its color and font.

You can also use elegant structures like tabs to locate specific sections of text and apply changes to those areas. Also, you can embed windows and images in the text as this widget was designed to handle both plain and formatted text.

from tkinter import *

gui = Tk()
text = Text(gui, height=10, width=50)
text.insert(INSERT, "Hello.....")
text.insert(END, "Welcome to StackHowTo")
text.pack()

text.tag_add("hello", "1.0", "1.5")
text.tag_add("stackhowto", "1.21", "1.32")
