Label text
[1/6] from: ddalley::idirect::com at: 29-Nov-2001 18:53
Hi, REBOLs:
Is there a way to control whether a label's text, if more than one word, is
on one or two lines?
I have a two-word label name that should be on two lines, but the interface
wants to use one line.

Hi Donald,

If you're using 'text for the label, it seems to ignore newlines. I suppose
you could get the width of each word and set the width of the label to the
longer of the two. That should force it to word wrap. Pretty kludgey though.
You might also look at using the area control with an edge of none, since
that will respect newlines.

Hi Donald, Gregg,
There is a keyword you can use - "as-is".
See this:
view layout [label as-is {on^/two lines}]

Hi Brett,

Has it others uses?
Thanks!

I suspect not. Have a look at the first line of the code that is printed by
executing this:
layout [t: label "test"]
print mold t/init
