Notes displaying body text |
In map views, large notes display (a portion of) the note's body copy text as well as the title. The note text appears only if:
The text is displayed but not styled (think of it as a $Text 'preview'), and embedded images are not drawn. From v5.0.2, notes with no title will display body text if present; previously body text display was suppressed in such notes. Once a map note displays body copy its title is no longer vertically centered. An attribute $MapBodyTextSize lets a specific font size for the body text be chosen. $MapBodyTextColor sets the color used to display such text. From v5.0.2, setting $MapBodyTextSize to a value of '1' will suppress text display even if there is body text. The font used to render both title and body text is set via Preferences:Map:Note label font. This font choice can be overridden at note level by setting $NameFont to a different value, though again it applies to both title and body text. Therefore the 'text' seen in a map icon will normally not be in the same font(s) as seen in the actual $Text in the note's text window. Text alignment uses $TextAlign and title alignment uses $NameAlignment. In older versions, In maps or large notes that display both the title and text of the note, Tinderbox uses $Name rather than $DisplayName to estimate the height required for the title. |
