Text

This element is used to add one or more lines of text to the form.

Syntax

The element declaration begins with ?text= statement followed by a text to be displayed on the form, and continues until an empty line, another element declaration, or an attribute is found.

New lines following ?text= declaration are treated as line breaks in the text.

Never add a tab character before subsequent lines of text. Otherwise, they will be misinterpreted as attributes.

Attributes

The text element can be customized by adding optional attributes to it.

An attribute is written as [attribute_name]=[value]. Each attribute must be placed on a new line immediately after the opening ?text= statement or another attribute, and must begin with a tab character.

Attribute	Default value	Description	Usage example
font_family	Segoe UI	The font family for the text.	`font_family=Courier New`
font_style	regular	The font style for a text: `bold`, `italic` or `underline`.	`font_style=bold`
font_size	12	Font size for the text.	`font_size=16`
font_color	Black	Text color. Can be picked from one of the values listed below.	`font_color=red`
align	left	Horizontal text alignment: `left`, `center` or `right`.	`align=center`

The selected font must be installed in the system that generates the printed form! Otherwise, form generation will fail with an exception.

Example

?text=Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
	font_family=Courier New
	font_style=bold
