Limit on text?

[ajones]

Is there a ceiling on the the amount of text you can have within a <text> tagged area? I'm seeing some of my content get truncated. Is there a way around this besides having multiple <text> items within a view?

The width of a single line of a <text> field is limited by the width of the canvas. (Similarly the max height of a text field is limited by the height of the canvas).

If your text is clipping, you can get around it two ways:

1) Make the canvas bigger.
2) Use the maxtextwidth and/or maxtextheight attributes of canvas to override this behavior:

Ah thanks- I didn't realize that multiline="true" wasn't enough- so the default vertical cutoff of the text corresponds to the canvas height... interesting!
