Text

Text media is entered directly on a Layout in a Region Playlist. A rich editor is provided for formatting the text for display.

The text editor will have a background colour that is identical to the layout background colour and will provide a complimentary text colour when first opened. A red box will appear in the text editing window which signifies the size of the region being edited. Text will wrap within that box, but can exceed the box height.

Options

Text items can also have a scroll direction, speed and must have a duration of play. It is typical to have a text item as the only item in a Region Playlist and therefore the duration can be set to 1 second (or another low value).

CKEditor

CKEditor is used for text input. Complete documentation for all the buttons is available over at CKEditor's website.

Text formatting is actually HTML and you can "view source" on the text editor to adjust the HTML manually if you choose.
