Text Selection Icon
text-selection · Text Formatting · 6 styles
The Text Selection icon belongs to the Text Formatting set of Solar Icons for Angular. It is one of 33 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Text Selection lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "text-selection", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
The drawing communicates text content. That places Text Selection in the Text Formatting family, which covers typography controls and rich-text formatting and turns up in WYSIWYG toolbars, markdown editors, comment boxes and CMS fields. Teams building editors and content tooling reach for this set first. Use Text Selection where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Text Selection in 6 styles
Text Selection exists in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

Every export is an isolated constant, so the bundler drops whatever you never mention. Import TextSelectionBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/text-formatting" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for text-selection live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Text Selection icon FAQ
- How do I use the text-selection icon in Angular?
- Import TextSelectionBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/text-formatting", register it with provideSolarIcons(TextSelectionBold) and render <solar-icon name="text-selection" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Text Selection support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of text-selection?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Text Selection inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
