Hi,
I have labels text that span several lines.
I used \n to tell AI2 to go to the new line and it works fine.
"3, 4, 10 choses ont été dites,\n mais dans quel ordre?"
Now I am localizing it using various languages and I found that the texts taken from an outside file do not identify \n as an LF.
Is there some way to make it work so that I can have my lines aligned in column?
Thanks
instead of \n use this <br>
Also see this might help :
What does "taken from an outside file" mean?
To use <br> you have to set HTMLFormat (Designer - Label - Properties):
If you want to see the lines in an aligned column, the only way really is to use a List - either ListView or ListPicker. It's also the easiest by far.
Thank you all.
Actually the HTML format tick works both ways, i.e. when I put
in the designer label text and when I assign this text in the blocks.
But I don't understand why the \n works when I don't chek the HTML format and I put this \n in the designer label text, but it does not work when I assign this text in the program.
Actually, the exact situation is when the text comes from a text file that I upload among the resources.
It looks like AI2 does not recognize \n as an escape character but as a text.
That maybe related to the fact that the file embed this text under double quotes.
Hmmm, I put that text into a label and the line returns work OK
"LabMaisApres","Oui, mais apres? \nun recoit, qui donne?\nun donne, qui recoit?"
How are you feeding the text to a label?
I edited the message with a few lines to explain that the texts were coming from a csv file.
Can you provide an example csv file ?
here it is.
When I use \n instead of
it is recognized as a real text
Localization_pirke_avot_labels.csv (1.4 KB)
interesting to see that "<br>" was automatically translated to a LF in my response
yes because in the file I sent you I used <br>
did you change them to \n?
no I used the
and htmlFormat.
Do you specifically need to use \n ?
No, now that I know of the <br> marker.
But it was strange to have this \n work in the designer and not from the file.
If I remember correctly, the \n will work in the purple text block as a line return, but not when you supply text from another source. You can't get text into a purple text block other than typing it in during development. Of interest, the line returns (non visible) in the csv file do not get actioned either in a label.
You could always keep your \n in your file, and then do a text replacement in the blocks, converting to <br>
Is there a place where I can find all the HTML tags that are allowed?
Actually since I am translatiing some label texts in hebrew I need the text to be aligned to the right.
There is no block to allow the right justifying the label text and I tested a variety of HTML tags but none worked.
I specifically tried some kind of inline CSS but to no avail.
example : <style>h2 {text-align: right;}</style>
then <h2>this is my label text <h2>
You can set Label Text as right-justify in the Designer Palette, but there is currently no support for right-to-left languages. There is a hack - include the right-to-left unicode marker in the text - I have never tried it.
