Customize any text in Discourse

In Discourse you can customize all of the text via the admin interface. Simply go to Admin > Customize > Text and you’ll be presented with a search page.

Search for the text you want to customize, click Edit then enter the new value. For example, I changed the “Dashboard” link to say “Evil Trout” here on Meta. After refreshing the page the text has been updated:

As always, give it a spin and let us know of any bugs or suggestions and we’ll tweak accordingly!

I’m trying to add bold text to js.login.subheader_title and neither **text** nor <b>text</b> are parsed, is there a way to add formatting there?

This is a formatting that you need to do with CSS or theme component.
