Displaying body copy

Tinderbox Icon

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 note has text,
  • the note is sufficiently large,
  • and the note is not a container, agent, or adornment.

The text is displayed but not styled, and embedded images are not drawn, as illustrated. Text is drawn only in rectangular notes, not those using shapes for display.

Once a map note displays body copy its title is no longer vertically centered.

A new attribute MapBodyTextSize lets a specific font size for the body text be chosen.

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.

In maps or large notes that display both the title and text of the note, Tinderbox used Name rather than DisplayName to estimate the height required for the title.
