post on Google plus stream with custom Content - google-plus

Question

I want to know that, is there any way to post our Formatted(Bold and Italic or \n) text as content of Post on User stream (using google plus Api).
I have tried Intractive Posts and share dialog offered by google but they do not support formatted content.

Answer 1

As best I know, you cannot control whether the content that Google calculates from your page content will be bold or not. However, in post content, you can * BOLD * and _ ITALICIZE _ using tags similar to markdown. Because you can pre-fill text in interactive posts, you can just pre-fill some bold words for your users suggesting they emphasize content in shares from your site.
Some code:
This goes in your page head tags
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/client:plusone.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
})();
</script>
... and this goes in the body
<!-- Place the tag where you want the button to render -->
<span
class="g-interactivepost"
data-contenturl="http://wheresgus.com/ipostdemo/gplusbw.png"
