The Markup Language property page, accessible from the Text Properties dialog, specifies the markup language used to format a markup language container text object. Additionally, you can modify the dimensions of the object and align the contents of the object.

Markup Language

• Markup Language: Defines the markup language used to draw the text object.

• Ignore page size and setup in markup language: When enabled, ignores all page setup options defined in the text object, and adheres to the options set in the Page Setup dialog. Otherwise, the contents of the rich text object will fit into the specified size. Available when one or both of the following conditions are met: the object contains more than one data source, and/or the data source selected does not contain embedded data.

Size and Scaling

• Size and Scaling: Determines how BarTender resizes or scales the object and text to appear on the template.

  • Automatically adjust object height to hold contents: BarTender will define the height of the text object based on the height of the object's content.

  • Fixed object dimensions: BarTender will not resize any objects or text. Therefore, any text that extends beyond the boundaries of the object will be hidden.

  • Automatically scale content to fit object dimensions: BarTender resizes the content of the object to fit the size of the object.

• Object Dimensions: Defines the width and height of the selected object.

• Content Alignment: When the object's content is smaller than the object's dimensions, specifies the vertical and/or horizontal alignment of the content contained within the selected object. Available when Fixed object dimensions or Automatically scale content to fit object dimensions is selected.

• Content Scaling: Specifies whether the content of the text object is resized automatically or manually. Based on the Size and Scaling selection, the following options may be available:

  • Scale: Resizes the object's content by the specified percentage. For example, an object scaled at 200% will double in size. Available when Fixed Object Dimensions is selected.

  • Minimum: Specifies the lower percentage threshold that BarTender can resize the object's content. Available when Automatically scale content to fix object dimensions is selected.

  • Maximum: Specifies the upper percentage threshold that BarTender can resize the object's content. Available when Automatically scale content to fix object dimensions is selected.
