Multi-line text

Text elements support multiple lines. Line breaks are entered directly in the text content, and wrapping, spacing, and layout are handled automatically.

Adding line breaks

Enter the break directly in the element's text. Blank lines are trimmed automatically, so stray empty lines do not leave gaps on the plate.

Adjusting line spacing

Line height is set in the properties panel. Increasing it opens the lines out, and decreasing it tightens them.

How sizing behaves

The auto-layout engine accounts for multi-line content when fitting text into the space available. Text stays correctly sized and positioned even as the number of lines changes from row to row.

This matters where a variable returns two lines for some records and one for others. Check the result using Preview Mode, which displays the longest entry in the data.

Multi-line variables

A variable can itself return multi-line content. The same wrapping and spacing rules apply, so no separate configuration is needed.

Example: Use multi-line variables when you data uses an inconsistent # of variables or lines of data. For a plate that skips a variable, multi-line objects will automatically re-space these plates accordingly.
