Trouble using RichText in richText box

I'm trying to create a Readme-like pop-up window that contains a richText box.  The problem is that I'm very new to using the RichText box in DXL.  I want to make the first line in the text box centered and bolded with the rest of the text being left-aligned in regular font.  Here is the start of my showReadMe function:

void showReadMe() {
    DB helpBox = create "Help";
    string sHelp = "";
    sHelp = "\\b Title text\n\n";
    sHelp = sHelp "First paragraph in normal 'un-bolded' text.\n";
    sHelp = sHelp "\tAnother descriptive paragraph for read me file\n";
    sHelp = sHelp "\tFor more information email Chris at cchris@abc.com\n";
    
    helpText = richText(helpBox, "", sHelp, 800, 600, true);
    show helpBox;
}

As a little background, I tried using a canvas, but couldn't get newlines or tabs to work correctly, so I am now trying to use a rich textbox to display the text, but the Title text isn't displaying as bold as I thought it would.

void showReadMe(DBE xCanvas) {
    string sTitle = "SCP Tool Readme";
    font(xCanvas, 1, HeadingsFont);
    setFontSettings(8, 5, 5, "Times", true, false);
    
    draw(xCanvas, 250, 25, sTitle);
    
    setFontSettings(2, TextFont, 10, "Times", false, false);
    string sContent = "1.0 - Original first version used for testing\n";
    sContent = sContent "\t1.1 - Added styles for each heading level.\n"
    font(xCanvas, 3, TextFont);
    draw(xCanvas, 20, 50, sContent);
}
DB readMe = create("Readme", styleCentered|styleFixed);
DBE helpCnvs = canvas(readMe, 800, 600, showReadMe);
show readMe;

For bold text you need "{\\b your bold text}"

Seems you're missing the braces.

Thank you Antonio.  That worked great.  On a related note, is it possible to add RichText to a label?  Also, how would I center the text that's bolded, if possible?

A label can't display rich text.

I don't think that DXL supports centering of rich text either. If you paste some centered text from MS-Word, it becomes left-aligned after the change is committed.
